Synopsis

"The poems in The Bees Have Been Canceled are ravenous, rich, and exquisitely built. Maya Catherine Popa's language makes visible how yearning tethers the mind to the world and how hurt spawns an astonishing self-awareness. Her gaze alights on beauty and violence; it 'scurries from birth to blight.' Such attentive looking brings closer the brokenness of the world. This gaze is also restorative; it alleviates and mends and delights." --Eduardo C. Corral

"Maya Catherine Popa's The Bees Have Been Canceled is haunted by violence and catastrophe, by the consequences of human desire turned to incommensurate ends, and anxious about the resources of language. There are no glib answers, only a certain kind of belief (the kind Emily Dickinson might recognize) embodied afresh in poems that are richly textured, and filled with energy, wit, and intelligence. Popa's work is serious, but there's joy here, too, in a balance that defies gravity." --Averill Curdy
