Wei-Wei Lee recently graduated from Nathan Hale High School and served as the 2019/2020 Youth Poet Laureate of Seattle. She was born in the States, but grew up in Taiwan, and has only been Stateside for four years. Seattle is the first city in the US she has ever known and loved. Though she first started writing around age eight, she only began writing poetry at fourteen—but she’s since fallen in love with it and hasn’t stopped. Poetry, for her, is largely based on pure feeling and imagery. In her work, she hopes to pay tribute to both Taiwan and American and do them proud.
