Where the Bees Come to Die: Poetry Collection Giulia de Gregorio Listo

"What a tragic blessing
To spend a brief life
Making honey out of time
And then die
With a sting
To protect an
Oblivious Queen."

Where the Bees Come to Die is Giulia de Gregorio Listo's second poetry collection. As in ancient times, bees are emissaries of the Gods, of the divine, as well as the mundane. They bring the horrors and the joys of a raw human experience carrefully portrayed as a beautiful stained glass, mending the cracks and the shards with the right words.
