Praise for TO KISS THE LIPS OF THE SUGAR MAPLE TREE
"Amelie Honeysuckle continues her exploration of stream-of-consciousness poetry by evolving it into narrative storytelling. The nature imagery prevalent in her writing has become a metaphor for the seasons of a life lived. There are seasons for growth, loss, and rebirth; a mirror-in-verse for voyeurs who may need reminding that participation is the only thing required to live."
- Renzo Del Castillo, Author of Still
"Amelie Honeysuckle takes on a fresh approach that instantly draws any curious reader to dig deeper. By exploring a narrative through verse and prose, Honeysuckle sincerely delivers in telling a story while simultaneously breaking up a tale into precious moments, highlighting the captive essence of poetry to the very end."
- Boy Blue, Author of METANOIA
"An inspirational touch of succulence to sink your teeth into. The collection is enveloped and delivered organically like the first bite of ripe fruit-each line providing a sweetener that drips like sugary juice down one's chin. Her work invites readers to savor the fleshy moments of life, delivering a refreshing perspective that is a testament to the beauty of relishing in the extraordinary within the simplest of pleasures-humanness and the natural world."
- Elizabeth Knightly, Author of Choose To Choose Me
"A reimagined love letter of Shel Silverstein's The Giving Tree with a voice akin to Mitch Albom's stories."
- Gabriel L. Rodríguez, Author of the Periodic East series
"To Kiss The Lips Of The Sugar Maple Tree takes you on a journey through the eyes of nature. Each poem intricately weaves into the next, unfolding a story as beautifully as a leaf amidst the wind. The duality of life, love, and being still pour out through Amelie Honeysuckle's words."
- Fin Rose Aborizk, Author of On The Ever-Lovely Morrow
"A novel-in-poetry masterpiece, allowing readers deeper insights into their own relationships and the impact they leave, whether a person is meant to be in their life for longer or just a season. Complete with illustrations, this book will pull at your heartstrings as you follow closely through the characters and the rollercoaster that is all of our lives."
