Daniel W K Lee

Anatomy of Want Daniel W K Lee

Daniel W. K. Lee's first collection of poetry is a study on desire's limbs, its breath, its unchecked tendencies on creatures--mortal and divine--who dare to love or be loved. Eros to agape, melancholia to saudade, he finds fruit in these conditions and exposes with carefully selected words and deliberate silence, our hunger.

DANIEL W. K. LEE is a third generation refugee. Born in Kuching, Malaysia to an ethnic Cantonese family who fled wars in China and then Vietnam, he is currently working on escaping to his next city--New Orleans--with his head-turning whippet, Camden.
