2015 Goodreads Readers Choice Winner - Poetry (The Dogs I Have Kissed)

"This is a collection that will beg you to be dogeared, coffee-stained, & shared." — Amanda Lovelace, Author of The Princess Saves Herself in This One

"With Honeybee, Trista has captured in amber something beautiful and tragic, joyful and painful." — Iain S. Thomas, Author of I Wrote This For You

“Bitter sweet with memory and softness, this book is an intimate and profound look at sexuality, heartbreak, loneliness, loss, love, healing and everything in between.” — Nikita Gill, Author of Wild Embers

"How can something that hurts so much still be so tender? Mateer triumphs in this exploration. We are humbled to be witness.” — Ari Eastman, Author of Bloodline

“In Honeybee, Trista Mateer pulls the layers back on an old love and invites her readers to pick apart the pieces with her. She spares no one and nothing and the result is beautiful and awful and gorgeous and gut-wrenching.” — Fortesa Latifi, Author of No Matter The Time
