“Lee Slonimsky’s poetic achievement in Bright Yellow Buzz is more than technique, more than memory, though master technique and master memory are everywhere in this work: it is nothing less than ‘spirit’s truth;’…his landscape is written as though pen touched on bough.” Dr. Robert Basner
LEE SLONIMSKY’s sonnet sequence, Pythagoras in Love, has been translated into French and Greek, was published in Polish this summer and will soon be translated into Italian. His poem “Dragonflies in Love” was included in the new anthology BuzzWords: Poems About Insects, Everyman’s Library Pocket Poets Series, edited by Kimiko Hahn and Harold Schechter. Lee’s newest American collection, Bright Yellow Buzz, was just published by Spuyten Duyvil Press. Lee earns a living managing a hedge fund called Ocean Partners LP.”
