Lee Briccetti is the daughter of Keats, of Maria Callas, of a mother who read to her first in Italy, and then in America. She is both schooled and artisan-like as a maker of poems and also a bit of a provocateuse, an experimentalist. In her company we maneuver alongside of someone full of wisdom and experience who is nonetheless continually curious, thirsty, lusty, out on a limb in search of more knowledge, more understanding, and more visionary ecstasy.
LEE BRICCETTI was born in Italy and raised in the United States. She currently lives in New York City where she has been the long-time executive director of Poets House. She has received a New York Foundation for the Arts Award for Poetry and has been a Poetry Fellow at The Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, Mass.
