description: Poems. Taking great care to elucidate the ordinary lives of rural Americans, David Lee's selected poems contain the famous pig poems which led a PBS-TV documentary to brand him The Pig Poet. Yet pigs are only part of the story. They join with folks like the gentle-hearted, redneck roustabout John Sims, or Elis Britton, the meanest man in the world, as cast members of Lee's aural agrarian saga. Lee is the Poet Laureate of Utah.
