Through poetry and slices of prose, Abby Kenigsberg dishes out humorous and some serious takes on family life, advertising, and relationships.

"The clay of daily life re-sculpted into fresh satire, humor and insight. The words dazzle. They whirl in new ways that are surprising, even explosive. From Shakespeare to Seuss, it's all there: 'When the Gnat and the Boa sit down for tea/There's always a rumble from the meddlesome Bee.' Abby Kenigsberg is the Bee."

           - Greg Lipscomb, journalist, telecommunications attorney and short-story writer.
