About the author

Her poems have appeared in Avocet, a Journal of Nature Poetry, Cider Press Review and The Worcester Review. Dee was awarded Third Place in The Frank O'Hara Poetry Prize judged by Mr. Lloyd Schwartz for her poem "Souvenirs" as well as Honorable Mentions (Writer's Digest Writing Competition, Pat Schneider Poetry Contest, Patricia Dobler Poetry Award and New Millennium Writings 37th Awards). Her poems have appeared in two separate anthologies (Little Red Tree International Poetry Prize and Mother Nature's Trail).
