American poets have written what gets called ‘the autobiographical lyric.’
Very few poets have written it with such fierce and stinging accuracy. [Ann

Williams . . . can be . . . a little ruthless, and that
quality gives this book, which also has the virtues of tenderness and
attentiveness, its steel and its nerve." |

"In
the Bee Trees
is a remarkable
and powerful collection. . . . There is a composure, a patience, and a clarity
to these poems that is truly enviable. Whether charting the passages of
childhood or the difficult ascents and descents of adulthood, Jim Natal never
loses his sense of awe and wonder, even in the face of the most difficult
circumstances and most harrowing events, public as well as private. What strikes
me often in these poems is that because Jim Natal trusts his readers, he always
earns his readers’ trust. With its beauty and wit, In the Bee Trees is
a stunning accomplishment." —David St. John, Author |
