<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><i>Mad Honey Symposium</i> invites us into a wild, prismatic world of strange spectacles and innovative music.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Like Sylvia Plath's poems, these visionary poems are not only astute records of experience, they are themselves dazzling, verbal experiences. Worldly, wily, wise: <i>Mad Honey Symposium</i> is an extraordinary debut.--Terrance Hayes</p><p>[<i>Mad Honey Symposium</i>] has all the delicacy of [Mao's] earlier writing--but now there's also a gritty, world-wise sense of humor that gives her work heavyweight swagger.--Dave Eggers</p><p><i>Mad Honey Symposium</i> buzzes with lush sound and sharp imagery, creating a vivid natural world that's constantly in flux. From Venus flytraps to mad honey eaters, badgers to empowered outsiders, Sally Wen Mao's poems inhabit the precarious space between the vulnerable and the ferocious--how thin that line is, how breakable--with wonder and verve.</p><p><b>From Valentine for a Flytrap: </b></p><p><i>. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .There's voltage<br>in your flowers--mulch skeins, armory<br>for cunning loves. Your mouth pins every sticky<br>body, swallowing iridescence, digesting<br>light. Venus, let me swim in your solarium.<br>Venus, take me in your summer gown.</i></p><p><b>Sally Wen Mao</b> was born in Wuhan, China, and grew up in Boston and the Bay Area.
