All That Remains
2010 TLP Haiku Chapbook Competition Winner

In this evocative collection of haiku about grappling with loss and change, Lee reflects on memories of loved ones and the Maine landscape of her childhood.
A short story writer for many years, Lee currently teaches in a Maine high school special education department. According to the judges, “her poems carry an emotional weight, a significance beyond the surface of things; they are not just pretty images.”
Arranged in an emotional arc that reaches deep inside, these haiku will be reread again and again. Flyleaf is Nepali sun washed dyed ferns.
