About the Book

Honey Surviving Oil, from newcomer Chan Plett, overflows with romantic ghost stories, sensual encounters with the natural world, and love songs about Long Beach, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Lyrical with Neruda-esque fantasies and Brautiganian wit, these poems are dream-like epiphanies. They begin at the threshold of feeling, and lead the reader into the most surreal and sensitive chambers of the self.
About the Author: CHAN PLETT is a poet, writer, copywriter, and editor from Los Angeles. She currently lives in Seattle, Washington. She began writing her first book of poetry at age 19 (Honey Surviving Oil). She is much older now. Her writing has been featured in Black Heart Magazine, Magpie Magazine, Dum Dum Zine, and the WOMEN group. She has also written for Nordstrom, Eventbrite, Review Weekly, and many others.

PRAISE FOR HONEY SURVIVING OIL

"A complete, sprawling landscape that slowly reveals itself...raw and unyielding."-Tom Philip, Contributor for GQ and The New Yorker

"From the first lines of the opening poem Sea, I was hooked. Suddenly, I was no longer lying in my bed; I was standing on a beach... it's impossible to put this book down. Each stanza is stacked with longing, rose-tinted nostalgia, adventure, lust, fear, voyeurism, death, heat, insecurity, myth, and love, all wrapped up in the glow of Los Angeles' golden hour and tied with the icy wind that rustles Autumn leaves... and drizzled with lots-and lots-of honey."- Artemis Thomas-Hansard, Staff Writer at LA Weekly and Contributor for VICE

"In an alternate America, one where Anne Sexton was still alive, Joni Mitchell was still strumming her guitar, and Lee Miller was still taking photographs, Chan Plett would be the nation's Poet Laureate. Her poems are fragile portals into a landscape full of magic and longing, where women "wear garters of sea leaves", and lovers "listen to the dead/calling in from bedroom windows." Honey Surviving Oil represents the arrival of a meaningful new voice in American Poetry, as marvelous a book as I have read in several years."-Kareem Tayyar, Author of Magic Carpet Poems and In the Footsteps of the Silver King

"In Chan Plett's world of tumbling language, a stoic purity interweaves with constant surprise. With each syllable, new turns of meaning bloom, and bloom... the flowers of her phonetic imagination culminating in gardens of warm color, and hushing delight."- Daniel Warren, Former Editor of Flaunt Magazine
