Lee Slonimsky - Bright Yellow Buzz / by Sharon Israel

LISTEN to my to my March 15th, 2022 WIOX show featuring returning guest, the unique poet and novelist Lee Slonimsky, who will read from and discuss his new erudite and poignant poetry collection, Bright Yellow Buzz. This show has a fascinating range - from Pompeii and the Lisbon Earthquake to Pythagoras, Vermeer, and the DNA commonality of trees and humans!

“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.”
