Mad honey symposium

Mad Honey Symposium buzzes with lush sound and sharp imagery, creating a vivid natural world that's constantly in flux. From Venus flytraps to mad honey eaters, badgers to empowered outsiders, Sally Wen Mao's poems inhabit the precarious space between the vulnerable and the ferocious—how thin that line is, how breakable—with wonder and verve. The collection features poems like 'Valentine for a Flytrap,' which explores cunning loves and the act of swallowing iridescence.
