“The poems in The Shadow List are tightly concentrated narratives that dissect their subjects with an almost surgical precision.”
“Lee’s poetry is not pretty; it’s mascara-smudged and red-eyed, anxious and prickly. But it is also vividly, gorgeously alive.”

“Lee [has] harnessed recognizable conceits of dreaming to create poetic works that expand [her] readers’ waking consciousnesses past everyday barriers of self, memory and convention.”

“The Shadow List is a compulsively readable collection of poems touching on everything from moth infestations to former lovers, and from text etiquette to a common lie told by writers . . . There’s an urgency to this text. It’s direct, detailed, and courageous. And it delivers rich, contemporary tales through vignettes in the narrator’s life.”
