Synopsis

Praise for Celtic Light

Lee Perron's poems have shown me the path to the dark forest pool where Psyche terrifies her guests, and the poet is, at last, allowed to surrender his vision. Inexorable death, inexorable life—just as he found them, water mixed with the sun.
— Michael Hannon

Praise for Lee Perron's previous work

“. . . very wonderful lines here— remarkable and beautiful— full of wisdom and strife as well as health of mind and body, [and] completion, if there is any. Just amazing!”
— Leonard Cirino, poet, editor Pygmy Forest Press.

“Lee Perron is a highly gifted poet, with a fine sensibility for the tones of nature, and the nature of the self as it expands into the world.”
— Elliot Sterns, ONTHEBUS

À propos de l'auteur

Lee Perron was born and raised in southeastern Massachusetts in the 1940s. In his undergraduate years he was an editor of the Trinity College Review. Starting in 1964 he taught classes in English literature at Stanford University and creative writing at Purdue. Later, over a period of twenty years, he earned a living as a bookman selling rare and antiquarian books as well as works of 20th century masters. It was the second profession that offered him his true apprenticeship as a writer. Among the artifacts he handled were a typescript of Ezra Pound’s refusal to confess to treason in World War II; Henry Miller's annotated copy of The Holy Bible; early editions of John James Audubon's Birds of America; and an 1835 broadside advertising a human being for sale.

Some of the poems herein have appeared in various literary magazines, including Sonoma Mandala and The Chariton Review, whose editors, Elizabeth Herron and Jim Barnes, he would here like to thank for their early support.

The following pieces were inspired by these writers: “Karma,” Francis Jammes;"Diminished," Maurice Careme; "Headwaters in the Ma’acmas," and "Solstice at the Western Edge," Rene Char.
