bee-songs and essays
“Evocative; a beautiful symphony of nature, childhood, and the wild-ness in both.”“A keen power of observation; skilled writing; beautiful and evocative descriptions.”
The New York Times Spelling Bee attracts a large following of enthusiastic word lovers who delight in ferreting out a hidden list of words of from a seemingly-random array of seven letters. A handful of Bee solvers delights in the challenge of composing poetry, essays, and humorous items with words from the daily puzzle. Bee-songs and essays compiles a selection of work by one of these “Hive poets” known as “peregrine from the rocky shore.” This volume, the first in a series, includes the complete 50-poem series of Bee-songs, short poems that celebrate the beauty and diversity of the photographs in The New York Times daily Spelling Bee forum, including several not previously published; thirty-five essays on natural history, childhood reminiscences, farm life, and the rocky shore, inspired by words in the Spelling Bee puzzle; and a farrago of humorous essays, poems, and parodies offered in affectionate appreciation of the Spelling Bee and its lively online community, including three episodes from the fantasy series that explores the workings of the Spelling Bee's editor, "In the Spelling Bee Lab."
