Join us for "Work Lunch," an OLLI at Auburn Brown Bag Series presentation and reading with Lee Bains. Free and open to the public!In his debut poetry collection "Work Lunch," Alabama poet and musician Lee Bains draws on his own experience at the intersection of work and food—the daily ritual of a workday lunch. His poems explore the multifaceted and often contradictory nature of Southern culture and values through the lens of food. In sprawling, long-form poems, Bains mines subjects of family, the often invisible work of service, and the horrors and comforts of fast food chains.
Lee Bains is a poet and songwriter from Birmingham, Alabama, who since 2012 has released four studio albums of what Rolling Stone calls “Southern gospel punk.” A cult songwriter forged in independent scenes, his work has carried him all over the U.S. and Europe, and has led him to be a supporting musician for other artists like Lonnie Holley, Moor Mother, and Algiers. He lives in Atlanta, Georgia, where he works between tours as a handyman.
