Publisher's Note Both traditional and profoundly innovative, Joseph Lease's poems embody a complex emotional and psychological truth. A powerful storyteller, Lease captures his characters' unique inner lives, in a tone at once erotic, social, and mystical. Lease's poems encompass the broad spectrum of being human with unflinching courage.
Industry Reviews "Joseph Lease exhibits the talent of a major poet. In 'Human Rights,' Lease trenchantly confronts some of the most challenging social problems of our time. he splendidly deploys evocative storytelling, imagism, irony, transformative language, and collage."

"[P]oems that seem to be little more than collages of arresting images." Bernstein
