Honeybee by Trista Mateer
You will meet people in your lifetime who demand to have poems written about them. It's not something they say. It's something about their hands, the shape of their mouths, the way they look walking away from you. A collection that will beg you to be dogeared, coffee-stained, & shared.--Amanda Lovelace, author of the princess saves herself in this one Honeybee is an honest take on walking away and still feeling like you were walked away from. It's about cutting love loose like a kite string and praying the wind has the decency to carry it away from you. It's an ode to the back and forth, the process of letting something go but not knowing where to put it down. Honeybee is putting it down. It's small town girls and plane tickets, a taste of tenderness and honey, the bandage on the bee sting. It's a reminder that you are not defined by the people you walk away from or the people who walk away from you. A spine tingling, heart wrenching, goosebumps-across-your-skin experience.--Nikita Gill, author of Fierce Fairytales Perfect for fans of Caroline Kaufman, Atticus, Clementine von Radics, Nina LaCour, Adam Silvera, and Becky Albertalli; or anyone interested in bisexuality, heartbreak, running away from your problems, and coming out. Look for Trista Mateer's other book of poetry, Aphrodite Made Me Do It and her contribution to Dis]Connected Volume 1: Poems & Stories of Connection and Otherwise.

"With Honeybee, Trista has captured in amber something beautiful and tragic, joyful and painful. It’s an incredibly moving journey that takes you from coffee shops to Australia, to boys with vodka on their breath and a girl with yellow hair. Her poems are both incredibly specific and relatable for anyone who’s ever lost someone for the wrong reasons. It’s a powerful book and Trista Mateer is a powerful, loud voice in contemporary poetry."–Iain S. Thomas, Author of I Wrote This For You
