Description

Book overview
Honey Bee Poetry, by author Reneé Drummond-Brown, is the buzz all over town. You’ve heard the phrases: “Busy Bee, Buzzworthy Backstories, Mind your Own Beeswax, The Birds and the Bees, Bee Stung Lips, Make a Bee Line, Bee in One’s Bonnet, Spelling Bee, To Put the Bee On” well just as sure as one would say “NONE OF YOUR BEEZWAX” this book is your B.I. BUSINESS.

Sum say, “Busy as a bee…” Well, that aptly describes the author to a T. Tone that is. Drummond-Brown is literally a single worker bee, who’s known to put in the time, grind and deposit hard-core literary labor of love inside the poetic B-hive, adding a teaspoon of honey (here-and-there) in her versus coupled with images and metaphors used to depict agape love, strength, honor, courage and wisdom (referred to as “she”).

But watch it now because her poems are known to sting from time-to-time…bzzzzzzz. Don’t get bit by her prolific prose! OUCH!

Reviews

Honey Bee Poetry showcased why Drummond-Brown is in a class all by herself.

Her writing is unlike anyone else’s. Confident, Strong, Bold, and Charasmatic.

Drummond-Brown is unapologetic in style. She is deliberate and precise.

This poetry book was fun, colorful, daring and interesting.

So many poems. The Cornerstones within Honey Bee Poetry are: A Time When, I Got 99 Problems But A Poem Ain’t One, Let’s Dance, Ain’t This a B, Judge US? How Dare You? & My Blood Runs (Parliament) Knee Deep, My absolute favorite poem within this compilation.

This poet is our generation’s Toni Morrison of poetry.

Her name is Renee Drummond-Brown and she knows who she is.
If you have never read her work you really are missing out on some of the most extraordinary verse penned.

Drummond-Brown sets the bar so high she should have received her own Pulitzer in Literature by now.

I am such a fan of this writer. I can only hope to achieve a quarter of such a tremendous gift.

Honey Bee Poetry has the perfect blend of sweet and spice.
Highly Recommended and 5-Stars is where this poet resides  Stylistic Perfection.
