About this listen

Author Mae Bea Sayes is an artist-poet inspired by life, love, and literature. She transposes poems from images that come alive from ideas about her journey with the meter of language and the characters of literature. She creates cadence through wordplay and loves rhyme whenever it works.

In her new collection of poems, The Graveyard and Other Poems, she examines the journey of the soul's death, reawakening, and redemption. Written in a cadence that recalls the work of Edna St Vincent Millay, the lyrics speak to the pandemic, a walk through a graveyard full of great ghosts, painful love, and the long-awaited redemption of sins after death. The ethereal spirit of the poems speaks as a voice about the mystery of the souls departure from life. She also touches on themes of love and love lost.

As I lay in the graveyard,

I am revealed,

transmuted through snow,

hidden like the rose

in the translucent light

peeking out in the early spring

—from “The Graveyard”
