Sara Eddy is a marvelous poet and teacher who also happens to keep bees.

She first began beekeeping at a difficult time in her life. Regarding this challenging transitional moment, one of her poems asserts, "I've got 20,000 bees and hope."

Come enjoy this very special evening with Sara via Zoom, either in community in the store or from your own computer. It's part of a larger "Summer Lights" program at Tweetspeak Poetry, where they highlight the work of a poet who is with a Press other than their own.

Sara is their 2022 Summer Lights poet!

For this special evening, she'll read poems from her mini-chapbook, put out by The A3 Press: Tell the Bees.

She'll answer your questions about beekeeping + reading or writing poetry.

She'll inspire your life.

If you are local in Ossining, NY, you can enjoy this event alongside friends and new acquaintances in the store. (Sara will be “Zoomed” in to the store, and we’ll have light refreshments on hand.) For all in-person attendees, we’ll offer a 10% discount on all bee-related products (lip balm, candles, soap, and plants-in-a bag) - all in celebration of Ossining’s Aug. 5 Community Crawl.

You can also enjoy bee-themed experiences and items at other fabulous Ossining destinations all week following our Tell the Bees event—from August 5-12:
