A Legacy of Shadows: Selected Poems
Bobby Joeif i should die before I wake... I don't know if I believed in ghostsbefore Bobby Joe Lee had his stroke that big man we called Bull lying thereall them years in that hospital room wasn't nothing they could dobut wait and see if he'd try to wake up or let it gohe was like a lightning-struck tree didn't even know it was gonealone in there, blind and lost until the next firestorm cometo finish him off The PBS-TV documentary on David Lee was entitled "The Pig Poet," and according to The Denver Post that sobriquet didn't bother Utah's poet Laureate: "I've rarely in my life been without a pig." Pigs, and the gentle-hearted redneck roustabout John, feature prominently in Lee's narratives and are integral to what he calls his "aural agrarian saga." This saga, written over the past two decades, is also populated with some of the most authentically drawn characters since those of Mark Twain. Lee's small-town universe is frequented by tragedy and near-tragedy, and transcendence most often arrives in the form of salvaged humor, whether ironic, self-depricating, or ribald. "David Lee's pig poems are the best thing to happen to animals in poetry since Kit Smart's cat.'-Thomas McGrath "Lee's calculatedly simple narratives are wonderfully wrought. His is a welcome voice, neither academic nor urban."-Booklist Also available by David Lee David Lee: A Listener's Guide Reading from: A Legacy of Shadows and News from Down to the CaféAudio CD $12.00, 1-55659-137-3.
