Essential Lentz

Editorial Reviews Review "Lentz has a talent for blending a compelling story line...and vivid imagery. The result is the literary equivalent of high definition -- the reader is bombarded with rich text that infuses the senses." --Greenwich Post, May 2010 The Weston Forum, May 2010 "Lentz's approach to writing is soul driven." "Lentz likes to explore how creative people survive and contribute in a large, impersonal environment. What is the role of a talented individual, an artist for example, in a complex, vast society?" --New Canaan Advertiser, May 2010 Product Description "Essential Lentz" is a compendium of the published writing of David B. Lentz spanning his creative writing career since his college days at Bates. His collected works in "Essential Lentz" feature generous excerpts from his literary novels, stage plays and poetry.
