And So Wax Was Made & Also Honey

By Amy Beeder

Beeder's third collection, And So Wax Was Made & Also Honey brims with lyrical invention and dark wit. In this lush universe, Hermes moonlights as a process server and malaria croons a love song; saints emerge from beans while Kronos and Eros argue at a local bar: 'love's nothing/but glimmer-to-wither, dawn's fireflies expired.' In language singularly baroque and hypnotic, Beeder takes us on a wild poetic adventure: this book is, as Dana Levin says, "a treasure-house wizarding through time," through landscapes ancient and present, real and reimagined: gold mine to Victorian graveyard, a fair's midway to The House of tre, from 'late Holocene out to the farthest buoy'.
