...quietly probing, impressionistic poetry since the publication of his first and widely acclaimed volume, Rose, in 1986. Lee's maternal great-grandfather, the would-be dictator Yuan Shikai, was the first President of the Republic of China, while the poet's father briefly served as Mao's personal physician.

A former physician, Hillery headed four government ministries--from Education to Foreign Affairs--before his 14-year tenure as President. Though he initially didn't seek re-election when his first term ended in 1983, voters from multiple parties clamored for him to continue.
