In A Bracelet of Honeybees, Lynn Strongin conveys braided stories of aging, pain, and sexuality through her signature genius with language. In these poems, we find Strongin, an older lesbian poet, surviving with the disabling remnants of a childhood bout with polio. Strongin's language is always lush and playful, her imagery always surprising, and her allusions always erudite. No emotion, notion, or possibility is missing in these sharp-witted...

In this collection of late works by Lynn Strongin, we find that perfect balance of salt and water spiced with symbolism and metaphor that poet Strongin does so well.

Like the pilot in W. B. Yeats's "An Irish Airman Foresees His Death, " each of us is challenged to "balance with this life, this death." As we share a common fate, we also share loss and sorrow. At their most mournful, with praise and love and raw emotion, poets throughout time have put their grief to paper. The elegy and its inherent drama---the inevitable struggle between love and death---are showcased in The Sorrow Psalms, a collection of t...

Lynn Strongin is a poet and mystic ¿- decoding the unseen messages of this life. One can see oneself in the protagonists of Star Quilt: The Seventh Jump - photographer Maggie, upstart pioneer, pushing the envelope of her art, and Rachel, a retired postal carrier with back problems who could once walk the length and breadth of a small town with a heavy letter sack on her back.
