Beard of Bees is an independent, free press. We are based in Oak Park, Illinois and Paris, France.

Beard of Bees is committed to publishing quality chapbooks by liberated poets from Anywhere. We do not discriminate against non-human or post-human artists.

Our latest human-authored chapbook is Quiet Vertical Movements by Jen Besemer. Our most recent human/machine collaboration is a light heart, its black thoughts by Gnoetry and Eric Scovel. Chapbooks are published using Adobe's PDF format. You probably already have software to view PDF files: if not, you can get what you need for free.

Since the alleged ownership of language and thought is a revolting legal fiction, all Beard of Bees publications are freely downloadable and freely redistributable. If you like something you find here, share it with a friend. If you find something that you hate, savor the moment of destruction as you delete the file. Or share it with an enemy.
