Connections

Tai’s letter poems are very much friendship poems; friendships for whom Tai cares deeply. Written with a great degree of sincerity and honesty these poems often break boundaries of nations. With a soulful tone Tai often weaves the stories of relationships, human predicaments and lost moments.

Island on the Wind-Breathed Edge of the Sea

Island on the Wind Breathed Edge of the Sea, is a collection of poetry by, arguably, one of Canada’s finest living People’s Poets, John B. Lee. After numerous literary awards, 50 books and many trips to Cuba this is Lee’s first full collection of Cuba poems. They are the perceptions, perspectives and reflections on the Cuban landscape, its peoples, the sounds and sights, the sea and the wind and how they all fold into a poetic experience. These poems will bring you closer to the real Cuba than any guide or travel book could possibly do. This is one of John B. Lee’s finest books.

In the Arc Welder’s Blinding Light

The poems from this fine collection remind us that “nature enables and culture denies”. They deal with professions and trades lost to most contemporary humans. John B. Lee is a master of metaphor. Lee is the premier Canadian poet of his generation.
