In Hive, a book-length poem that explores the poetics of the apiary, Suzanne Mercury creates a meadow: a world, a microcosm, a universe which invites the reader into a renewed sense of the world. " Drawing on Cornelius Agrippa's system of magic squares [Mercury] creates a complexly layered text that encourages multiple ways of reading it.

(Andrew K Peterson)
