“Insistence, Persistence, and Resistance is a rich tapestry of experience from a poet who speaks the nuanced language of love, family, history, and heritage. Lee Orlich Bertram explores and celebrates the personal as well as the universal in this clear-eyed, heartfelt debut, and in doing so, provides yet another beautiful facet of what it means to be fully human.”

–Annie Lampman, author of Sins of the Bees and Professor of honors creative writing, Washington State University

“A lyrical feast for the mind and heart.”

–Mary Ellen Bramwell, best-selling author of The Apple of My Eye
