ABOUT

Natalie Wee invites you to commit yourself to life: to resist the genocide against the Palestinian people, to refuse the displacement of Indigenous peoples worldwide, to act wherever injustice occurs, and to pledge yourself to another future that’s already within our reach.

Natalie is a queer creator whose work is deeply informed by grassroots communities. She wrote two poetry collections, Our Bodies & Other Fine Machines (San Press, 2021) and Beast at Every Threshold (Arsenal Pulp Press, 2022), which was named a finalist for the Lambda Literary Award for Lesbian Poetry, Audre Lorde Award for Lesbian Poetry, and Pat Lowther Memorial Award.

Natalie was the first runner-up for the 2020 PRISM International Pacific Spirit Poetry Prize and winner of the 2019 Blue Mesa Review Summer Contest for poetry. Her writing has been named a finalist for the Best of the Net Anthology, shortlisted for the Peach Gold Prize, selected as Split This Rock’s Poem of the Week, and nominated for the Pushcart Prize. Her poems have been published in The Rumpus, Asian American Writers' Workshop’s The Margins, Gulf Coast, and PRISM International among others.

Previously, she was the managing poetry editor of LooseLeaf Magazine, which was run by the Project 40 Collective, an interdisciplinary, Tkaronto-based, pan-Asian artist community.

Born in Singapore to Malaysian parents, Natalie currently lives in and operates out of T'karonto, Dish with One Spoon territory.
