ADream in Which I Am Playing with Bees is a collection of poems made of naturalimagery, queer metaphors, personal observations, and historical circumstancessurrounding honeybees. In the aftermath of a fictional bee extinction, thesepoems are presented to the post-bee reader as “artifacts.”
Playingwith Bees positionspoetry in hindsight to contemplate poetry’s “natural” inclinations towardbuilding alternative worlds through earthbound metaphors. Whether a single line or an entire premise, none of the poems could think, speak, or see in the same wayif bees—and the relations they make possible—suddenly disappeared. Like anynatural resource, the bee is a wellspring of possibility. Essential. Fragile.Causal. And like any animal, the pollinating bee has enabled a diverse phylumof phrases and myths that humans trade to express our most hard-to-namefeelings.
Whatin our imagination changes after a peg in the environment is removed? Whatcould disappear from our minds, our fantasies, and our self-descriptors, ifnature is no longer a mirror?
Consider a museum of language. As artifacts, these poems arethe residue of a dead species—but they are also the offshoots of a playful,abundant, delicate ecosystem. Playing with Bees covets what’s left. Atthe bottom of everything, we find the fragments of an ecologically intact dream:an apocalypse in reverse.

hardcover. Condizione: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
