Bees in the Attic - Paperback

by Maryann Franta Moenck (Author)

Bees in the Attic is a collection of poems that elegize and celebrate an arc of lasting friendship. From a dying man we learn something of how to live; remembrances of playful humor, heartfelt hopes, and the constancy of mutual connection. Making sense of grief requires a willingness to pay attention-to words, gestures, and the subtle cues of changing seasons. These poems are made of woodgrain, walls, doors, hinges, and all the raw materials that give us shelter. Sturdy structures contain the lives and hopes of characters within, while beyond our doors flowing waters insist that we move ever forward.
