The Porcine Canticles: Poems

David Lee

Port Townsend, Washington: Copper Canyon Press, 2004

Poetry
Swine--Poetry;
In the Porcine Canticles, David Lee speaks in a regional vernacular that is at once accessible and compelling. He has fashioned out of the red dust of Paragonah, Utah, and Kolob Lake a lyric tribute to the indomitability of the human spirit and to the human heart which learns first by learning how to break. These poems are wise, and funny, and sad; they are tragic in the best classical sense, poems that combine elements of the bucolic and the epic, of Chaucer and Williams and Milton.
