"A voyage with the ever present panoramic A. Robert Lee - poet, cultural historian, critical writer. This collection is a cartography, a call and response, a resonance and a celebration of "meticulous horizontals," "Eisensteinian screams" and other luscious optics and beloved poetries. I appreciate the close reading, scholarship, and delight of these imaginariums." - Anne Waldman, FAST SPEAKING WOMAN "A. Robert Lee imagines the sights and sayings of painters, poets and places, and detects the symbolic cues of continents, museums, and cultural coincidence." - Gerald Vizenor, ALMOST ASHORE "Imaginarium reveals the keen eye of a well-traveled poet. The ekphrastic poems that envoice eighteen paintings are a delight. Deep-textured and infused with history, his poetry overall satisfyingly offers the gift of evocation and invocation." - Tino Villanueva, SO SPOKE PENELOPE
