My Town

David Lee

Port Townsend, Washington: Copper Canyon Press, 1995

Poetry, Utah
City and town life--Utah--Poetry; Utah--Poetry;
Lee's ear for colloquial speech, his attention to concrete detail, and his firsthand knowledge of rural farm life has informed his poetry, making him unique in his generation. Peopled with some of the most authentically drawn characterizations of agrarian life since Mark Twain, Lee's is a small-town universe filled with hilarity, love, labor, and tragicomedy, but above all else, with compassionate wisdom.
Poetry in rural, southern Utah dialect.
