Description

OFF COURSE: ROUNDABOUTS & DEVIATIONS is A. Robert Lee's latest collection that interleaves poetry and prose.

Beneath the carefully crafted and accessible surface of Lee's work lies a profound, complex voice that deliberately disrupts traditional literary boundaries and distinctions.

Different takes on the odd, oftentimes the antic, at work in the daily round.

Seamed in wit, dark but congenial humor, Lee's work is aimed to amuse yet at the same time, stir recognitions.

Fake correspondence might just be real. Foodways edge towards the gothic. Each composition comes over as slant, diagonal, oblique.

Set phrases turn askew. Geographies un-map themselves, whether ostensibly Europe, England Japan, or America.

Of course, it's all OFF COURSE. Enchanting tales of travel and transformation, comedy and capitalism, and unforgettable stories that teach us about our present as well as our past, OFF COURSE uses irony to tickle the mind.

It reminds us that contradictions in life are inescapable, and how precarious and unpredictable life really is.

Acerbic, volatile and incisive. Life episodes take on the patina of waking slumber, not to say japery and the absurd.

Read OFF COURSE without discretion and take out some personal insurance before reading.
