This episode of NPR's Weekend Edition features a profile of Lee, in which he reads some of his work and talks about his ridiculously fascinating life and family.

Here's a rather dramatic shot of our poet, looking pensive (as poets do).

And here's the cover of Lee's book Behind My Eyes, which features "Immigrant Blues." What do you make of the book's title?

If you liked "Immigrant Blues," you just might want to check out the collection of poetry in which the poem appears.
