Dee has a Master’s in Literature (McGill University) and an MBA in Finance (Fordham). At McGill, Dee founded Cyan Line, a poetry magazine and served as editor while completing her degree. She was a 2024 grant recipient from the Ruth Weiss Foundation as a finalist for her poem Aging in Haiku. She curated the East Hampton Poetry Marathon for five years, a summer series of poetry readings. She was the president of a boutique financial services company for thirty plus years. Dee lives in East Hampton and New York city with her husband Lee. They have two grown children. “I take long walks on Gardiner’s Bay or the Atlantic Ocean, or Riverside Park. I’m always in formulation and thirst to share. With pencil, I scratch, peck, plant, mend, write and rewrite until the story is told. I love the brevity of poetry, the fluidity, the completeness.” In the book My name is Asher Lev, Chaim Potok’s character says” …that additional aching surge of effort that is always the difference between integrity and deceit in a created work.” I strive to get there.
