September 23: Lee Desrosiers Features at Stone Soup Poetry

Stone Soup Poetry meets every Wednesday online from 7:00-9:00 PM via Zoom. Stay tuned for updates on any future live gatherings. On September 23, features return just as fall is starting with Lee Desrosiers reading from her new collection.

Lee Desrosiers (they/she) graduated in 2008 from the New England College MFA program in Poetry. Their fourth and latest full-length book of poems is Pocketing the Light (Kelsay Books 2026). Other books include: The Philosopher’s Daughter (2013), Sometimes I Hear the Clock Speak (2016), and Keeping Planes in the Air (2020). Two chapbooks, Inner Sky and Typing with e.e. cummings, are from Glass Lyre Press. They edit and publish an international journal of narrative poetry, Naugatuck River Review and Wordpeace.co, a multi-genre online literary journal dedicated to peace and social justice. Lee lives, teaches and writes in Westfield, Massachusetts.

Octavio Quintanilla writes: “In Pocketing the Light, Lee Desrosiers’s poems ask what it means to inhabit a life that is always changing, a life that keeps asking us to name the things we lose in time: a mother’s voice, a father’s laughter, “grass / bowing” to its wildness.” These poems move through meditations on illness and aging and move through beautiful observations of nature: “Nature is a balm to me even though / I don’t know the names of all the flowers,” Desrosiers writes, and this quiet confession becomes the emotional center of a book attentive to a living world we are part of and that holds us until we are ready to let go.”
