Description

High Lonesome is a pasture on a West Texas ranch, a state of being, an affecting personal mythology. Poet Patricia Lee Lewis writes, "Think how brambles catch her petticoats, hold them 'til they tear, feed on blood....Say the old woman can find her way, can feel the thorns of walls," and "From her kneeling place between two great stones, she sends her voice." These are poems of landscape and family, heart and perspective. "High Lonesome pulls you into the momentum of its sounds with urgency, shock, serenity and arrival. The language of Patricia Lee Lewis is devoted to noticing. Her poems digest the howling, look at what comforts, what invades to do harm, what remains." - Anne Love Woodhull Patricia Lee Lewis was born and raised in Texas, where her three children were also born.
