Tidal Wave

Poetry. Jewish Studies. TIDAL WAVE is the debut collection by Dennis H. Lee, winner of the first Henry Morgenthau lll Poetry Prize for a poet 70 or older. A serious achievement, notes judge David Keplinger, of growing up and growing older, as if these two worlds existed simultaneously on parallel planes. This spirited collection careens between funny and serious, with poems teetering on stories, stories teetering on dreams, and dreams that evoke a dark underbelly, a tidal wave of what it feels like to be human.
