Damascus Rose

This is Lea's second book of verse. These poems combine whimsey with compelling imagery and serious age-old questions of life and death, including airline crashes on the west coast, human violence, love and essential relationships.


J. Lea Koretsky resides in the San Joaquin Delta. She was nominated by Berkeley National Poets for best poems appearing in a novel, "Trojan Park." She remains an avid reader of Creeley, Snyder, Rilke, Frost and Yeats.
