The Poemographies of Lee: After High School & When Jesus Took Me to Roosevelt (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798765253359)

What does it mean to reclaim your body, your voice, and your power through poetry?

The Poemographies of Lee is a fierce, unfiltered autobiographical poetry collection that takes readers on a raw journey through trauma, survival, healing, and awakening. Written on the back of a yoga book with the author's last hundred dollars, this is poetry born of urgency, resilience, and transformation.

Through two deeply personal poem cycles, After High School and When Jesus Took Me to Roosevelt, Lee Bee explores life after leaving home: starting college, dropping out, turning to sex work to survive, and ultimately building a life rooted in self-reclamation and radical truth. With no money and no roadmap, Lee rides their bicycle down the California coast, lives out of a car, teaches yoga, works with special needs children, and eventually integrates into a small Utah town. There, they find community, love, and spiritual liberation.

This is not just poetry. It is shadow writing. It is queer confession. It is a survivor's gospel.

For readers of LGBTQ+ literature, trauma memoirs, and feminist poetry, The Poemographies of Lee is a reckoning and a release. It speaks to those navigating gender identity, healing from sexual trauma, or questioning capitalist systems that demand we trade our bodies for survival.

Join Lee on a journey that begins in pain but ends in power. Say yes to the full truth. Say yes to healing.
