If you’re in the mood for some excellent apocalyptic or dystopian reading, then do remember to stop over at The Bees Are Dead.  We recently have been fortunate for the opportunity to share dark visions from poets throughout the world, including Edilson A. Ferreira, Jason Ramsey, Jonathan May, Jonel Abellanosa, Andres Rodriguez, Marianne Szlyk, Stela Xega and Scott Thomas Outlar.

I myself am especially partial to May’s outstanding poem, “The Wolves;” its imagery is both nightmarishly vivid and expertly rendered.  You can find it right here:

“The Wolves,” by Jonathan May

And be sure to peruse the poetry, short stories and photography by all of our contributors.
