Abstract
My research, which I successfully defended as an Honors Thesis for August 2001 graduation, explored the poetry of contemporary Asian American poet, Li-Young Lee. Specifically, I was interested in how his poetry interacts with the American literary tradition. This project was an extension of a twelve-page essay I originally wrote in 1999 for an Asian American Literature course taught by Professor Keith Lawrence. The essay was subsequently published with further improvements in Insight, BYU’s Honors academic journal. The final product was sixty-five pages long, including a works cited list and an appendix. It will soon be available in the Harold B. Lee Library.
