Timeline
Li-Young Lee (李立揚, pinyin: Lǐ Lìyáng) (born August 19, 1957) is an American poet.
He was born in Jakarta, Indonesia, to Chinese parents.
His maternal great-grandfather was Yuan Shikai, China's first Republican President, who attempted to make himself emperor.
Lee's father, who was a personal physician to Mao Zedong while in China, relocated his family to Indonesia, where he helped found Gamaliel University.
In 1959 the Lee family fled Indonesia to escape widespread anti-Chinese sentiment and after a five-year trek through Hong Kong and Japan, they settled in the United States in 1964.
Li-Young Lee attended the University of Pittsburgh, the University of Arizona, and the State University of New York Brockport.
Lee attended the University of Pittsburgh, where he began to develop his love for writing poems.
He had seen his father find his passion for ministry and as a result of his father reading to him and encouraging Lee to find his passion, Lee began to dive into the art of language.
Lee's writing has also been influenced by classic Chinese poets, such as Li Bai and Du Fu.
Many of Lee's poems are filled with themes of simplicity, strength, and silence.
All are strongly influenced by his family history, childhood, and individuality.
He writes with simplicity and passion which creates images that take the reader deeper and also requires his audience to fill in the gaps with their own imagination.
These feelings of exile and boldness to rebel take shape as they provide common themes for poems.
Li-Young Lee has been an established Asian American poet who has been doing interviews for the past twenty years.
Breaking the Alabaster Jar: Conversations with Li-Young Lee (BOA Editions, 2006, ed. Earl G. Ingersoll), is the first edited and published collection of interviews with an Asian American poet.
In this book, Earl G. Ingersoll has collected interviews with the poet consisting of "conversational" questions meant to bring out Lee's views on Asian American poetry, writing, and identity.
Lee has won numerous poetry awards:
