The poems in \u003cem\u003eDisjecta Membra\u003c\/em\u003e focus heavily on location: moving in and out of Lee’s home in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to the lived experiences within the confines of institutions in and around the city: academic, medical, societal. Lee’s sharp poetic and artistic sensibilities blend with subject matter including recovering from mental illness, unrequited love, and meditations on “being a writer” — whatever that means.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eDisjecta Membra\u003c\/em\u003e is assembled from poetry written by Lee over the past two years. As Lee’s first chapbook, Probably, Angels (Maverick Duck Press, 2020) interrogated the coming-of-age experience of girlhood, \u003cem\u003eDisjecta Membra\u003c\/em\u003e says “now what?” in response to the end of adolescence marked by trauma. \u003cem\u003eDisjecta Membr\u003c\/em\u003ea is Lee’s slice-of-life diary of relapse and recovery, infatuation and lovelessness, and continued escape from and subsequent return to home in Philadelphia. What ties the poems in \u003cem\u003eDisjecta Membra\u003c\/em\u003e together is their constant questioning of what it means to be a writer, and subsequently, an artist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eLee ties in sentiments of writers who inspired the collection, including modernists such as Sylvia Plath, Raymond Carver, James Joyce, Mary Shelley, and Franz Kafka. The result in \u003cem\u003eDisjecta Membra\u003c\/em\u003e is a deeply personal collection of poetry that will resonate with the poetic, artistic, and experiential sensibilities of readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eAudrey Lee is also the author of the poetry collection \u003cem\u003eProbably, Angels\u003c\/em\u003e (Maverick Duck Press, 2020).
