Lee reads “Station,” the then-untitled “A Hymn to Childhood,” “Self-help for Fellow Refugees,” and “Immigrant Blues. Lee begins and ends the event with a discussion of aesthetic consciousness, duality of existence, poetry as dialogue between lovers, his father\u27s political life in China, philosophy of poetry, and religion in poetry. Lee closes with a reading of “After the Pyre” and “Trading for Heaven.”

Li-Young Lee: Reading and Conversation
No full textLi-Young Lee is the author of six critically acclaimed books of poetry, most recently The Invention of the Darling (W. W. Norton, 2024), The Undressing (W.W Norton, 2018), Behind My Eyes (W.W. Norton, 2008), and a chapbook The Word From His Song (BOA Editions, 2016). His earlier collections are Book of My Nights (BOA Editions, 2001); Rose (BOA, 1986), winner of the Delmore Schwartz Memorial Award from New York University; The City in Which I Love You (BOA, 1991), the 1990 Lamont Poetry Selection; and a memoir entitled The Winged Seed: A Remembrance (Simon and Schuster, 1995), which received an American Book Award from the Before Columbus Foundation and was reissued by BOA Editions in 2012. His translation of the Dao De Jing debuted in October 2024.
Lee’s honors include fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, The Lannan Foundation, and the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, as well as grants from the Illinois Arts Council, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts. He is winner of the 2024 Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize, and in 1988 he received the Writer’s Award from the Mrs. Giles Whiting Foundation. He is also featured in Katja Esson’s documentary, Poetry of Resilience.
Li-Young Lee’s collection, The Undressing, investigates the violence and dispossession increasingly prevalent around the world, as well as the horrors he grew up with as a child of refugees. Lee draws from disparate sources, including the Old Testament, the Dao De Jing, and the music of the Wu Tang Clan. While the ostensive subjects of these layered, impassioned poems are wide-ranging, their driving engine is a burning need to understand our collective human mission. Most recently, he just finished co-translating The Dao De Jing, which will be forthcoming with W. W. Norton in 2024.
Born in 1957 of Chinese parents in Jakarta, Indonesia, Lee learned early about loss and exile. His great grandfather was China’s first republican President; and his father, a deeply religious Christian, was physician to Communist leader Mao Tse-Tung. After the establishment of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, Lee’s parents escaped to Indonesia. In 1959, his father, after spending a year as a political prisoner in President Sukarno’s jails, fled Indonesia with his family to escape anti-Chinese sentiment. After a five-year trek through Hong Kong, Macau, and Japan, they settled in the United States in 1964.
Through the observation and translation of often unassuming and silent moments, the poetry of Li-Young Lee gives clear voice to the solemn and extraordinary beauty found within humanity. By employing hauntingly lyrical skill and astute poetic awareness, Lee allows silence, sound, form, and spirit to emerge brilliantly onto the page. His poetry reveals a dialogue between the eternal and the temporal, and accentuates the joys and sorrows of family, home, loss, exile, and love. In “The City In Which I love You,” the central long poem in his second collection, Li-Young Lee asks, “Is prayer, then, the proper attitude / for the mind that longs to be freely blown, / but which gets snagged on the barb / called world, that / tooth-ache, the actual?” Anyone who has seen him read will add that Lee is also one of the finest poetry readers alive.
He lives in Chicago with his wife Donna and their two sons

Tenupalpa xanthodora Lee & Li 2022, comb. nov.
No full textTenupalpa xanthodora (Meyrick, 1923) comb. nov. (Figs 98–102) Thiotricha xanthodora Meyrick, 1923: 24; 1925: 103; Gaede, 1937: 307; Clarke, 1969: 475; Ivinskis et al., 1984: 41; Kyaw et al., 2019: 88. TL: Pyinmana, Myanmar. TD: NHMUK. Type material. Holotype ♂, MYANMAR, Pyinmana, 18.iii.[?], leg. T.B.F., genitalia slide no. J. F.G.C. 8380 (NHMUK). Diagnosis. The forewing pattern of T. xanthodora is quite different from that of its congeners, with the basal 1/3 marked with black and yellow longitudinal streaks (Fig. 98). Other species of Tenupalpa usually have the base uniformly colored without distinct pattern elements. The male genitalia are somewhat similar to those of T. flavitermina and T. acutata sp. nov. in having a sinuous distal part of the aedeagus and oval anellus lobes bearing a long apical bristle. However, the genitalia of T. xanthodora can be distinguished from those of the latter two species by the valva expanded in the apical 1/3 and the larger anellus lobes. Distribution. Myanmar. Remarks. The species was originally described in Thiotricha based on a single specimen collected from Myanmar (labeled as Burma). The male genitalia and the abdomen of the holotype housed in NHMUK are characteristic of Tenupalpa: small uncus, tegumen bearing a bundle of tubercles (Fig. 100), rounded sternum VIII, and short external coremata (Fig. 102). Based on these morphological traits, we propose the new combination, T. xanthodora (Meyrick, 1923) comb. nov. In our previous work (Lee et al. 2021), we incorrectly transferred Thiotricha glenias Meyrick, 1908, to Tenupalpa. Thiotricha glenias is superficially similar to Tenupalpa species in wing pattern and coloration; however, its male possesses an expansible hair pencil dorsally on the labial palpus, setae are present on the dorsal surface of the tegumen, and tegumen tubercles are absent. These features are characteristic of many species of Thiotricha and Pulchrala. The generic position of the species requires further study, but the combination of morphological characters is certainly not typical of Tenupalpa. Therefore, we propose Thiotricha glenias stat. rev., resurrected from combination with Tenupalpa.Published as part of Lee, Ga-Eun & Li, Houhun, 2022, Taxonomic study of the genus Tenupalpa Lee et Li, 2021 (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae Thiotrichinae) from China, with descriptions of fifteen new species, pp. 75-111 in Zootaxa 5087 (1) on page 107, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5087.1.4, http://zenodo.org/record/581979
