Acerca del libro
“A keen power of observation; skilled writing; beautiful and evocative descriptions.”
The New York Times Spelling Bee attracts a large following of enthusiastic word lovers who delight in ferreting out a hidden list of words of from a seemingly-random array of seven letters. A handful of Bee solvers delights in the challenge of composing poetry, essays, and humorous items with words from the daily puzzle. Bee-songs and essays compiles a selection of work by one of these “Hive poets” known as “peregrine from the rocky shore.” This volume, the first in a series, includes the complete 50-poem series of Bee-songs, short poems that celebrate the beauty and diversity of the photographs in The New York Times daily Spelling Bee forum, including several not previously published; thirty-five essays on natural history, childhood reminiscences, farm life, and the rocky shore, inspired by words in the Spelling Bee puzzle; and a farrago of humorous essays, poems, and parodies offered in affectionate appreciation of the Spelling Bee and its lively online community.

Acerca del creador
peregrine leads a quiet life in her native New England, loving and grateful for its farms, forests, rivers, and meadows, and especially grateful for its northern rocky shore, where her heart lies. A lifelong love of words, writing, and ideas has led her through a small but varied life experience that has encompassed research and library management, technical and creative writing, editing, indexing, and more. Since her childhood on a very modest small farm, where rambling in wild woods and meadows was as essential to a growing child as reading and music, she has been a keen observer of the natural world and especially to our response to it. She is proud to be close friends with several particular trees in her backyard and at various places around New England, recognizes the individual bears in her neighborhood, and has developed a special expertise in observing and describing how the wind and sun play on the waters of a favorite little saltwater bay at the rocky shore.
