A fresh and singular voice for today’s young poetry audience, Gray Lee (they/them) represents a new generation of Appalachian poets--bold, unyielding, and unapologetically themselves. Their work is deeply personal and transformative, reaching for connection but never hinging on approval. Whether embraced or not, Lee’s voice remains steady, powerful, and necessary. A rising force from the South, Gray Lee’s first chapbook, Becoming suggests a poet to be reckoned with--and the future is certain to hear more of their voice.
