About Me

My name is Lee Garry Groen, 

and I am a professional writer and editor based on Vancouver Island. I have over five years of experience working with poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction for print and online literary publications.

​

I have previously been awarded the Pat Bevan Scholarship for Fiction in 2020, the Meadowlarks Award in 2024, and the TouchWood Editions Award in 2025, and my writing has appeared in GOOEY Magazine, Sea & Cedar, Portal Magazine, and The Navigator.

 

I am currently working on a debut novel, a collection of poetry, and many, many more dreams.

"A sky without clouds is a meadow without flowers, a sea without snails...

​

The great story of the night is the moon's adventures with the clouds."

- Henry David Thoreau, Journal IV June 24-25 1852

"I bring fresh showers for the thirsting flowers,

From the seas and the streams;

I bear light shade for the leaves when laid

In their noonday dreams.

From my wings are shaken the dews that waken

The sweet buds every one,

When rocked to rest on their mother's breast,

As she dances about the sun.

I wield the flail of the lashing hail,

And whiten the green plains under,

And then again I dissolve it in rain,

And laugh as I pass in thunder."

​

- Percy Bysshe Shelley, The Cloud
