Summary:

Poetry. 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 ÃStre, from late Holocene out to the farthest buoy.
