Cells

"Ramos's Cells questions and complicates that idea, presenting the beehive as a trope for all sorts of thorny constraints and limitations-in the workplace, at national borders, within economic models, in poetic form itself. In our various cells, must we always serve a Queen? Must we forever have a Keeper? If so, how can we break free? This stunning collection urges us to imagine more nourishing forms of life."

-JENA OSMAN author of Motion Studies

Using bees, hives and keepers as a central conceit, this collection explores how language acts as imperfect material for building not only poems, but also laws and institutions.
