In this collection of poetry, collage, and nonfiction prose, Séance of the Bees summons the flight patterns of image and text as they move oracularly across collective grief, histories, mouths, rivers, and memory.

Taking the planchette as tongue, this work proclaims 'I sought to enter her archive. / To lean up against an embankment of self.' It speaks to the singular and multiple simultaneously via a lens of ice, the rhizome, a flower, the hive, and of course, the bees. Through vivid artwork and melodic prose, Andrea Rexilius does a close study on craft and self: interrogating where one ends and the other begins. Stemming from mythology and bee shamanism, this collection engages with themes of grief, drag queens, and family history, all the while staying rooted in ecological feminism.
