Variations on Herb by John B. Lee - [The first thing to change was his signature.] (Brick Books) - Brick Books Poetry Map (sitios de interés)

Variations on Herb is the latest in a lengthening series of books that emanate from the south-western Ontario farm of John B. Lee's childhood.

The focus of Variations is Herb Lee, John B's grandfather (and an absolutely unforgettable curmudgeon) but the background of rural Ontario is also made palpable entirely without indulgent explanation. This grain, this rich vein that appears in book after book, may well be inexhaustible; the cumulative effect certainly has few parallels in Canadian writing.

Cover art: Cover based upon a pencil drawing of author's grandfather Herbert Mercer Lee done by Simcoe artist Frank Woodcock
