The shadow list poems Lee, Jen Sookfong creator author. text Poetry. Poetry. onc 2021 2021 monographic eng print 80 pages ; 22 cm "In these devastating lyric poems Jen Sookfong Lee unfolds the experience of her narrator, following her through frost-chilled nights and salt-scented days, as she pulls at the knot of accumulated expectations around her trying to create space to want and to be. The Shadow List is a book filled with desire, where we question the politics of who gets to choose and who doesn't and where the narrator creates hidden lists of what she really wants. With a novelist's way with character, Lee builds a deep connection with the narrator of the poems, yet each individual poem creates a vivid snapshot of moments many will recognize. The slick of black ice, the killing light of day, the cheap, plastic diamonds - they are all pieces of a life we gather and put in our pockets to remember with."-- Jen Sookfong Lee.
