Synopsis
With a quirky poignance, Dannye Romine Powell’s third collection probes the nature of loss―loss that's actual and loss that's feared. In these poems, loss takes many guises. With its ferny breath, loss is sometimes the lover who waits in secret on the porch. Sometimes even loss recognizes the feeling of loss and "calls the cops / to say his best friend / went fishing and won't answer his phone." Often, the poet mourns a loss of innocence, as when she learns, after attending the funeral of a friend, that the dead woman's husband has a history of infidelity. There's also the loss of romantic love, as when the woman "pulls / toward shore, a shore she calls by a name / she swore she'd never breathe again."

The Ecstasy of Regret won the Brockman-Campbell Award, the Oscar Arnold Young Award, and was a finalist for the Southeastern Booksellers Association Poetry Award.

Review
"The poems in A Necklace of Bees are lyrical, passionate, intimate, and nervy, and they respect the complex reality of love. They do not gloss; they do not lie. They tell the beautiful, painful truth." -- Kelly Cherry
"Dannye Romine Powell's luminous new poems seem places we've all been, made of words we wished we had said: where we take the dead shopping, where Loss is made flesh, and where a son and a garden teach us too much about sacrifice. Bravo!" -- Alan Michael Parker
