"He dares to be simple. And he is surely among the finest young poets alive," says The American Poetry Review of Li-Young Lee, who visited Whitworth recently as its English Endowed Reader for 2005. Lee's writing honors include a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship and a Guggenheim fellowship. He is the author of three books of poetry – Rose, The City in Which I Love You, and Book of My Nights: Poetry – as well as a memoir of his family's politically charged life in China and Indonesia, The Winged Seed: A Remembrance. The English Endowed Readership brings acclaimed writers to Whitworth each year for workshops and readings. Past readers include Leif Enger, Adrienne Rich, Billy Collins and Donald Hall.
