Dennis H. Lee’s collection, Tidal Wave, is reviewed in the Kelsey Review.
“Dennis H. Lee’s Tidal Wave, inaugural winner of the Henry Morgenthau III Poetry Prize for a first book of poetry for a poet 70 years or older, does what all great works of literature do: it uses specific moments to reveal universal truths about shared human experiences. This extraordinary collection has a heavy emphasis on place, beginning and ending with images of a Coney Island childhood, touching down throughout the book in Brooklyn, the suburbs, and the Catskills.”
— Jacqueline Vogtman, Kelsey Review 40, Fall 2021, “Book Review: Tidal Wave, by Dennis H. Lee. Passager Books, 2020.”
