Seasons of Defiance (Paperback)

Lance Lee's poetic effects are achieved through a classically informed richness of language, incorporating insights which ring true while disclosing an abiding respect for the sensibilities, and history, of the art of poetry. "Splendid, lovely writing from a poet who has channeled George Herbert, Walt Whitman, and Beethoven as witnesses to the knowledge that a man's fate is to find and lose/what must be found and held..."-- Jackson Wheeler, editor, Solo Magazine. "Lee's strongest strain of originality lies in his marrying of lyric celebration with precise imagery..."--Tim Liardet, author, The Blood Choir. SEASONS OF DEFIANCE is the latest collection by Lance Lee, an accomplished poet, dramatist, and essayist who often draws upon literary history and nature for his inspirations. His previous book with Birch Brook Press was HUMAN/NATURE.
