Dear bear,

by Ae Hee Lee

Dear bear, is a collection of letters, a compendium of notes to both the apocalyptic and the paradoxical self. Its setting, the forest, is both physical and metaphorical, and the titular bear real and unreal. The world here is an abstraction—both an inevitable destruction and a romantic conservation.

[Sarina Bosco · Rating 3 out of 5]

The language and imagery in this book is beautiful, and it's a very solid piece - with a sense of place and people (or, bear). The form of the poems was visually interesting but sometimes, the form made a handful read oddly. There's definitely an aesthetic here but the poems also felt hard to connect to in many cases.
