Dakota and Minnesota. He's been everything from a bartender to a phys ed instructor, to a journalist and a translator. Lee's first book Real Karaoke People was the winner of an Asian American Literary Award and the PEN Open Book Award. Usually I only post poems here that are relatively short, and have no profanity in them. Lee's poem "If in America" made me break both those rules.
If in America
from Marianne Combs: Minnesota Public Radio: State of the Arts: Minnesota Poetry: Ed Bok Lee's "If in America"
