The Dark Honey

Minnesota poet Ellie Schoenfeld's third collection includes favorites from her previous works as well as new verse. Many of the poems feature Ellie's signature self-deprecating humor while other pieces reveal a deeply compassionate voice. According to Louis Jenkins, "In Ellie Schoenfeld's poems, one finds a tenderness mixed with bewilderment, a feeling of awe at the great mystery of life, and a longing." She has also been called "a voice of warm dry humor." This collection includes the complete spectrum of Ellie's poetry, both retrospective and new.
