About the Book

These simple and elegant poems emerged over a decade of living amid the beauty of a New England village on Long Island Sound. The poetry portrays everyday life in Old Greenwich in seeking sea glass, Back Country stone walls, equestrian pursuits, village life, views from walking the shores of the Sound and the embrace of true love. The black & white photography of Virginia Lentz is tender and evocative of the simple lyrical voice of the poetry. The collected verse is both serious and comic with ditties, limericks, prose and doggerel. "The literary equivalent of high def... the reader is bombarded with rich text that infuses the senses." -- Greenwich Post "'Old Greenwich Odes' has great insight into Greenwich's beauty. This collection of poems truly reflects Greenwich and Old Greenwich. The words remind you of the places you have seen and the people that surround you in this special town." - Chrysa Tsilibes, Amazon "Lentz's approach to writing is soul driven - searching for the meaning of life and evaluating an upside-down world." -- Weston Forum "His pixilism is a sort of 21st century, digital metaphor that has similarities to French Impressionist paintings. Each sentence represents an idea, image or treatment of the big picture." -- Redding Pilot "Lentz especially likes to explore how creative people survive and contribute in a large and often impersonal environment. What is the role of a talented individual, an artist for example, in a complex, vast society?" -- New Canaan Advertiser
