Lee Chottiner believes poetry is the people’s voice—even if they don’t always agree. A poet and newspaper reporter for more than 30 years, Lee’s work has been published in several newspapers and journals, both here and abroad. Talking to Irwin is his first chapbook. Lee lives in Louisville, Kentucky, with his wife, Beth, his daughter, Noa, and his basset hound, Schenley.
