Seance of the Bees: An Evening of Poetry & Art

Poets and artists—Andrea Rexilius, James Haug, and Elle Longpre will read poetry and share visual artwork in celebration of Andrea Rexilius’ beautiful new book Séance of the Bees.

In this collection of poetry, collage, and nonfiction prose, Séance of the Bees summons the flight patterns of image and text as they move oracularly across collective grief, histories, mouths, rivers, and memory.

Through vivid artwork and melodic prose, Andrea Rexilius does a close study on craft and self: interrogating where one ends and the other begins. Stemming from mythology and bee shamanism, this collection engages with themes of grief, drag queens, and family history, all the while staying rooted in ecological feminism
