On the Altar of Greece Donna J. Gelagotis Lee

Winner of the Gival Press Poetry Award. Winner of the 2007 Eric Hoffer Book Award: Notable for Art Category. "...the journey of our time at this altar offers us a striking, immense set of views of a world we thought we knew, and still, wonderfully, do know in much richer ways by the end."--Don Berger, contest judge and author of "Quality Hill" and "The Cream-Filled Muse "... Her poems travel both in time and in memory to Greek villages and to Athens, bringing with them the spiky sensibility of a contemporary American woman...."--Molly Peacock ".. She knows that to empathize distinguishes the gifted poet from the merely good one, and enacts her compassion through the concreteness of her writing. With that physicality, she brings to life the numinous core of language."--Dean Kostos
