This Poem Means

Winner of the Naomi Long Madgett Award for African American Poets offered by Lotus Press; Spring 2005.

Anthony A. Lee writes contemporary poems on adult themes that can be both personal and social, such as pain, struggle, and spirituality. Other poems have Bahá’í themes such as peace, universal reconciliation, and salvation. As the reader may be brought face to face with the human condition as experienced by the poet, many of the poems include adult language as well as subject matter.
