Overview

Poetry. "David Dodd Lee's Abrupt Rural is as exquisite as it is excruciating, though in a matter-of-fact, even understated way; it surprised me with its afterburn, and left me disoriented and oddly happy"—Claire Bateman.

What People are Saying About This

Dzvinia Orlowsky

“With seductive intensity, David Dodd Lee’s poems lead us through the goldenrod to the glade, to those sacred places of anonymity where we find our greatest affirmations of faith. Abrupt Rural is an eloquent collection whose words are shaped from silence, like first prayers we learn to trust.”
