Jeffrey Ethan Lee

Jeffrey Ethan Lee won the $1,000 prize from the Sow's Ear Poetry Chapbook competition in 2002 for The Sylf, and he published a chapbook with Ashland Press in 2001. He also won a generous grant from the Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance to perform a full-length dramatic poem with music which was recorded with the support of a Special Opportunities Stipend grant from the PA Council on the Arts by Drimala Records. He also won the first Tupelo Press Prize for literary fiction in 2001. His poems, stories, and essays have appeared in American Poetry Review, Crab Orchard Review, Crazyhorse, Green Mountain Review, Many Mountains Moving, Xconnect, and others. He now teaches at the University of Northern Colorado.

Jeffrey Ethan Lee's "autumnal on a day her mother threatened suicide," "but they'll kill you (in bethlehem, p.a.)," "lost hotel in allentown, pennsylvania," "Hitting Rock Bottom," and "Brooklyn F Train August Duet (for evangelical ranter and red-faced retiree)" appear in Caketrain Issue 01.

Caketrain is a literary journal and press based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Our interest is in bringing you, reader, the very best in contemporary creative writing, full stop. Our goals are for each issue of our journal to submerge you in a birthing tank for gelatinous language monsters, young masses of tentacular foci undulating as directed (in all, at once) by our eclectic stable of contributors; for each new book to seduce and ensnare you, sometimes intangibly, always undeniably; and for you, reader, to be able to draw at least one passage from our banks that prods your mind with a precision and power that feels as if it was written for your eyes alone. To wit and to whet, here is a snippet, a slight nip of our delicious lit mix:
