David Dodd Lee’s speaker responds to his wife’s debilitating illness and the threat it poses to their life together by immersing himself in Nature’s dark order: “Late afternoons, in the fall, while the children / Chase each other with their paper horses, / ...the bones of digested songbirds / Thud down / Onto soft green beds, pine needles and moss.” His poems combat physical limitations with a heightening of the senses, and the opening of a symbolic realm: “That landscape of spectral forms / We glide through, silently, unable to speak...”

This brutally honest and powerful book by rock ''n'' roll writers and nationally syndicated music columnist David Dodd is a collection of eye-opening interviews with America''s foremost musicians and entertainers who have fough addiction. Those interviewed include Steven Tyler, Nils Lofgren, John Hiatt, Mitch Ryder, Eddie Money, Grace Slick, Stevie Ray Vaughn, and others.

Poetry. "I remember a ship // Dammit, I meant all along / I should take that other child // presently care is a hat // a father looking out the window // time''s just a driveway, / the parrot said, staring into / the thudding fog // and the future is a salesman / with his name tag flying in a void"--"Fit under here."

Orphan, Indiana is a collection of spontaneous outbursts framed by reticence and the guiding mania of the subconscious. Profane and poignant, accidental-seeming but soaring with satirical intent, David Dodd Lee''s poems capture a verisimilitude that''s phenomenological, and yet of the moment.

Radically Simple Yoga cuts to the heart of how to practice yoga in a clear, practical and non-dogmatic way. It presents age-old wisdom in the language of our times and is aimed at both new and experienced practitioners of all styles of yoga.

Animalities reaches into the past, breathes in the present, and extends to the future in a lyric exploration of life

Poetry. THE COLDEST WINTER ON EARTH is, essentially, a selected poems, with many of the poems comprising a manuscript that was once intended to be a follow up to Lee''s visceral, autobiographical book of poems, ABRUPT RURAL. The book mixes those poems with several series of poems written over the last 15 years, including a small selection of improvisational "sonnets," longer poems written loosely in syllabics, prose poems, as well as a group of poems written under the influence of the Alaskan landscape in the summer (time of the midnight sun) of 2011. A few of the poems were written just after the appearance of Lee''s first book, Downsides of Fish Culture, in 1997. While others were written for, but finally excluded from, The Nervous Filaments. Some of the poems were written as recently as the summer of 2011. In many ways the book is a throwback to Lee''s more austerely narrative style typified by the poems written in the books that came before Lee''s SKY BOOTHS IN THE BREATH SOMEWHERE: THE ASHBERY ERASURE POEMS, that is, Downsides of Fish Culture, Arrow Pointing North, and ABRUPT RURAL. THE COLDEST WINTER ON EARTH then, looks back, but it also looks forward to Lee''s continued interest in merging form and content, to his restless search for whatever language will best connect him to the world. The poems included here are often comic, hallucinatory, dangerous, and consoling. Whatever the case, THE COLDEST WINTER ON EARTH is an unforgettable reading experience. "Obsessively, elegantly, poignantly, David Dodd Lee immerses himself in the mysterious intercourse of self and place."—Franz Wright "David Dodd Lee''s poems just don''t work like anyone else''s, they''re far too possessed by their genius, beautiful, scary, saintly, grotesque—like the nature these poems confront us with again and again."—William Olsen
