Susanna Lee is a writer from the rural area in northern New Jersey where drivers stop to give bears crossing the road the right of way. Her work has been published in brevitas, First Literary Review - East, Sensations Magazine, The Red Wheelbarrow, The Stillwater Review, The World According to Twitter, Voices From Here 2, and, in 2015, her first book of poetry, Sunrise Mountain, which is now out of print. The first six volumes of Lee's collected works, published by Rose Mason Press as the Cubist Poetry Series, give the reader a cubist view of the poet's vision-from all sides at once. Snow Balls consists of short stories, many autobiographical. Great Blue Heron is a collection of 5 7 5 haiku arranged in mini-chapbooks on various themes, such as pop culture, nursery rhymes, and art history. Lee's shorter poems, most no longer than a sonnet, appear in Twisted Carrot; poems longer than one page are in God Laughs; and the rest of her poems are in My Husband's Roses. Lee's family recipes are preserved in Fluffy Muffins, which includes kitchen basics for new cooks. A more recent addition to the series, Order, Alphabetical, is an anthology of Lee's collected creative works and now includes visual art.
Lee celebrates her love of music in bringing to print a newly-discovered manuscript written eighty years ago by a friend's uncle, Jerome Bengis, Genius in 9 Symphonies: How Beethoven Reinvented Music.
