    You hear him ask that caring question a lot in this talks and interviews: "Does that make sense?" Yes, and if it doesn't make sense, it is more likely the fault of the hearer than his. Lee is perhaps the wisest and most well-spoken poet I have ever heard. I have loved his poetry since I read "Persimmons" in a undergraduate creative writing course. And as much as I love his poetry, I love hearing him talk just as much, maybe even more.

    ‘My soul has a memory that is older than my biology.’ Just one of the many profound utterances that occurred during the course of this discussion.

    I spent 14 years in China...and enjoy Li Bo and Du Fu...but mainly I like the polite behavior of Chinese English students.
    I had over 5,000 ESL students in my 14 years stay. Most of my students were freshmen in university. Many people in
    China still try to follow Confusius philosophy...the same as our golden rule..reciprocity..of course, now there are more Christians in China than communist..its true. Jesus is the Word.

    No wonder he was confused as to who to address. The commentator kept looking at notes instead of as he spoke. Not a real conversation with her.
