Early in the Morning | A Poem by Li-Young Lee

April 27 - Here's a poem for you for National Poetry Month: "Early in the Morning" by Li-Young Lee from "Rose."

This is a fantastic collection of poems from Li-Young Lee, one of my favorites—highly recommended. This collection is great if you’re new to poetry because much of the imagery in the poems reflects daily life: family, lovers, persimmons, hair combs, birds…and yet the syntax and diction are completely unique and bring these images into a new light.
