Honeybee

You will meet people in your lifetime who demand to have poems written about them. Itís not something they say. Itís something about their hands, the shape of their mouths, the way they look walking away from you."A collection that will beg you to be dogeared, coffee-stained, & shared.îóAmanda Lovelace, author of the princess saves herself in this oneHoneybee is an honest take on walking away and still feeling like you were walked away from. Itís about cutting love loose like a kite string and praying the wind has the decency to carry it away from you. Itís an ode to the back and forth, the process of letting something go but not knowing where to put it down. Honeybee is putting it down. Itís small town girls and plane tickets, a taste of tenderness and honey, the bandage on the bee sting. Itís a reminder that you are not defined by the people you walk away from or the people who walk away from you."A spine tingling, heart wrenching, goosebumps-across-your-skin experience."óNikita Gill, author of Fierce FairytalesPerfect for fans of Caroline Kaufman, Atticus, Clementine von Radics, Nina LaCour, Adam Silvera, and Becky Albertalli; or anyone interested in bisexuality, heartbreak, running away from your problems, and coming out.Look for Trista Mateer's other book of poetry, Aphrodite Made Me Do It and her contribution to [Dis]Connected Volume 1: Poems & Stories of Connection and Otherwise.
