WELCOME to the online home of Honeybee Press, a writers’ cooperative based in Burlington, Vermont. Since 2010, we’ve published The Salon: New Vermont Writing, a twice-yearly journal of poetry, fiction, essays and plays. To submit to The Salon, take a look at the guidelines.

EDIE RHOADS attended university in Virginia and earned an MFA in poetry from New York University, where she was a New York Times Teaching Fellow working with middle schoolers on the Lower East Side. Now she lives in Vermont, where she studies expressive therapy. Edie's poems have appeared widely in such publications as Post Road, Blackbird, The Salon, and Indiana Review. Her first book, The Day Bat, is made possible in part by a grant from the Vermont Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts. Photo by Raychel Severance.
Thanks to a VT Arts Council grant, we launched a book series in 2011. The debut title -
The Day Bat, by Edie Rhoads - is a full-length book of poetry. To pick up a copy, visit Crow Bookshop in Burlington, Bear Pond Books in Montpelier, or Vermont Bookshop in Middlebury, and at other locations in the coming weeks. You may also order the book by sending a check to the address below, but we’d prefer if you’d support a local bookstore; the book retails at a lower price than online.
The Day Bat was recently reviewed by Amy Lilly in
Vermont Woman.
Read the Seven Days review here.
To order The Day Bat, send a $15 check made to Honeybee Press, to our office at 294 N. Winooski Ave, c/o North End Studios, Suite 116 B, Burlington, VT, 05401. This price covers shipping; currently the book is also available at the Crow Bookshop in Burlington for $10, and will be coming to other independent bookstores in the coming weeks.

The goal of Honeybee Press is to produce high-quality local literature and make it more affordable and visible to the public. In addition to The Salon, we are currently developing a book series to celebrate the work of new writers. The first release will be The Day Bat, a book of poems by our associate editor Edie Rhoads. Stay tuned for more information.
