Beard of Bees is an independent, free press in Chicago, Illinois.

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 chapbook is Scar Letters by Theodore Worozbyt. Our most recent human/machine collaboration is Servants and the Slender Thread... by Antonio Facchino and Gnoetry. 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.
