Few poets of Western America fill the âorganic intellectualâ rĂ´le better than David Lee. His poetry is the real deal when it comes to recording hilariously insightful (and linguistically accurate) observations of rural cultureâand America at largeâwhile using a host of astute literary allusions and techniques. Imagine Robert Frost simultaneously channeling Will Rogers and Ezra Pound. Imagine Chaucer with a twang. Last Call is bloody brilliant and wickedly witty. As Sam Hamill says, âIf we were a civilized nation, we would declare David Lee a national treasure.â
