This collection is geared more toward people who I imagine like Emily Dickinson or Robert Frost - those classic kinds of poetry that are meant to be on paper. Compare that to the styles of slam or spoken word poetry, which reads on paper like it's meant to be said aloud. I don't enjoy poetry that leans to much toward prose, as if it's telling me a story that happens to be labeled as a poem - there's something about it feeling like an essay or journal entry that doesn't vibe with me. That said, poetry is subjective and these poems were eloquent and fit the theme described. Not my cup of tea, but you might like them if your tastes differ.

A stunningly beautiful collection of poems on the body, parenthood, and bees. I loved these poems--they are carefully created, not a word out of place, and full of emotion and grace. The order of the poems, their forms, and the images and ideas they capture within those boundaries results in a collection I'd recommend to any reader.

The main reason why I picked up this book, is because I love bees, and the tittle and cover peaked my interest.
Poetry is very subjective. You either will like and/or understand the poems, or you will not.
I did not fully understand the meaning of all the poems, but I did enjoy most of them. They had something very lyrical, which I enjoyed a lot.
This collection won’t be for everyone but I’d still recommend to give it a try..

This is a lovely collection of poetry about the roles of women, motherhood, relationships, love, and joy. Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the advanced copy of the book.
