Booksmyth Press is pleased to announce the release of All of Me - poetry of the lowest order and most incredible heights.

 

Of this startling fresh poetic voice Alicia Ostriker has remarked: "Read Lea Banks for vitality, read her for velocity. Dance with her if you dare, catch her if you can. But beware - Banks is a poet of a thousand whirling metaphors. You'll have to move fast."

 

Carol Frost says of this remarkable poet's first chapbook:"Carnival, whirlpool, God's fierce whimsy, beauty's blackout, hot color, Devil: they all belong to Lea Banks. She invokes the phenomenal, and from behind parted fingers her readers peek. The poems in ALL OF ME are brave-spirited and they make all of us braver."
