The City in Which I Love You

I quite like this collection, maybe because I'm reading backwards through his oeuvre and have different expectations. The Cleaving is breathtaking.

Very telling poems about the authors experience of totalitarian Malaysian government and his immigration to the US. Poems are written from his meaning to these events. I learned how to read them in a poetry class. An excellent selection to learn about poetry.

Not as good as Rose but still worth reading.

Although he's a very good reader, and definitely a wonderful man (as a previous reviewer noted), I find his poetry highly simplistic. I just don't feel it has the depth that many people seem to think it does.

I felt as if I was reading poetry by a particularly insightful five-year-old. But my taste is unusual. Give me some Wallace Stevens.
