‘Don’t lift me up
if you find me
in the dirt
I’m at home here
and I swear
I can heal
Just let the weeds grow
over my body, and the earth
reclaim my bones
Know there is
nowhere left
for me to fall’
Blake, I love you and your work and you inspire me to keep writing every day. This book moved me in ways I can’t even comprehend nor articulate.

This is Blake Auden’s second poetry collection I have read, I loved it. Auden has written calming poems about the storms in oneself and the world. In just a couple lines he describes such heavy emotion. Beautifully and simply written.

Never have I ever thought to compare the noisiness of love and heartbreak to a colony of bees but Auden does so effortlessly.
His poetry is raw, emotive, and timely, neither sloppy or slimy. It’s free verse instead of rhymed meter.
The Beekeeper will resonate with anyone who has felt the sting of love’s heartbreak, and the memories and processing of letting someone go long after they left.

The larger-scale narrative to the collection just never came together for me. I enjoyed the mix-media of art and poetry that you can find in Beekeeper but overall not high on my recommendation list.
