Paperback. Condition: Good. "Ms. Stein reminds us that there is no honey--rough, or otherwise--without the sting." --The New York Times In this lush, disturbing second collection from Melissa Stein, exquisite images are salvaged from harm and survival.

Melissa Stein's debut collection Rough Honey won the APR/Honickman First Book Prize. She holds an MA in creative writing from the University of California at Davis, and is a freelance editor and writer in San Francisco.…
