PAPERBACK
A Pandeme of Bees
pandeme (pan-deem) is a composite of Greek words Pan and Deme meaning “All encompassing possession of flowers and bees in one place”
Pandeme of Bees is a collection of mellifluous, sensual bee poetry. The poems are multilayered. They are cryptic, abstract, hidden, opening, lascivious. The themes interweave to create a word meadow to feed, entice, seduce and seed love for the bee and the hive.
SezzaJai is a word smith, bee keeper and mystery navigator. She has translated an epistemology of bee behavior into human emotion. Her deep understanding of scientific apian research has been word forged into the rhyme and rhythm of beauty and inner knowing of bees.
