Michael A. Lee, M.D., began writing poetry while attending high school in Brooklyn, NY. His writing style has been compared favourably to Shel Silverstein, who first inspired Lee to write humorous poems and sketches.
Dr. Lee's first book, Not Gonna Write Poems (2019), is a collection of funny poems and drawings co-illustrated by Lee's daughter, Jessica. His second book, titled How Much Do You Love Me? was inspired by a poem he wrote about being a father and is a heartwarming story of an insecure, young girl who finds solace and reassurance from various characters in the book, especially from her beloved father.
When not writing poetry books, Dr. Lee works as a full-time urgent care physician in NY. In his free time, he loves to travel, work out, and spend time with his wife and daughter. You can find out more about Dr. Lee and his books on his website, Mikeleepoet.com.
