What fascinates me the most about Li-Young Lee’s reading is his performance- his near painful shyness accompanying his honestly and undisguised vulnerability.  I found these traits strongly reflected in many of his poems, making it difficult for me to separate the speaker or narrator of the poem from its author.  However, I do not think his poetry suffered for it.
