Body Music
Body Music reveals the remarkable depth and range of Dennis Lee as a poet and thinker. In eleven ground-breaking essays, Lee explores the experience of body music: the dance of energy from which poems arise. Whether he is discussing rhythm as a form of cosmology, examining children's verse, or probing what it means to worship without belief, his explorations constantly fascinate and entertain. At a time when literary theory can be highly abstract, Body Music is anchored in a writer's working experience. It opens up dramatic new ways to think about words and the world.
Alligator Pie and Other Poems
Three classic Dennis Lee titles in one beautiful book This giftable and shareable volume brings together three of Dennis Lee’s best-loved collections of poetry—Alligator Pie, Jelly Belly and The Ice Cream Store—spanning three decades of his warm and whimsical rhymes. “You can almost hear the skipping rope slapping the sidewalk,” wrote Margaret Laurence of Dennis Lee’s timeless poetry collection Alligator Pie. One of the first published illustrated books about Canadian children, and featuring Frank Newfeld’s instantly recognizable original illustrations, Alligator Pie has sold more than half a million copies since its publication in 1974. Originally published in 1983, Jelly Bell...

Melvis And Elvis
Melvis the monster And Elvis the elf Were hunting for books On the library shelf... Dennis Lee is back with a lively new collection that will delight fans of his classic children’s poetry, including the perennial bestseller Alligator Pie.

Riffs
"On the occasion of the publisher's 40th anniversary, Brick Books presents this new edition of Dennis Lee's pivotal mid-career classic ... Riffs is a story of a passionate love affair, told in vintage Lee style - with whoops, deep chords, and headlong improvisational arcs. We hear Bach, Bo Diddley, Bird; the news is heartache and being. Celebratory, claustrophobic, the poem tracks ways in which eros and our lives are made mutually accountable."--Provided by publisher.
Heart Residence
This book is an exhilarating revelation. No other poet in Canada has the depth and range of Dennis Lee. Jazzman, jester, and metaphysician, hardball political thinker and passionate lover, he has been publishing poems for fifty years, working across the spectrum from nursery rhymes and skipping songs to uncompromising moral introspection to full-tilt love songs, plangent psalms, and ecstatic, solitary prayer. This Omnibus represents them all, and it will make your head spin. There are poets' poets and people's poets. And then there are those few who are neither and both: the few who become, over time, part of the warp and weft of their culture. The Dennis Lee Omnibus collects for the first time work from all corners of this extraordinary career, from Lee's searing early breakthroughs to his beloved children's verse to his visions of environmental apocalypse. A must-have collection from one of Canada's literary icons.
Testament (Large Print 16pt)
"Testament" is the summation of Dennis Lee's decade - long exploration of the dilemma of contemporary existence. Incorporating and rethinking the work published in "Un" and "Yesno," and featuring many completely new poems, this startling collection reminds us anew of the catastrophic reality we have made of our planet, while simultaneously insisting on a particular kind of hope for our future. "Testament" continues Lee's radical and inventive use of language, shaping the familiar into the shockingly new. It is a landmark achievement, and a fitting end to one of the most ambitious projects in Canadian poetry.
