Proxigean Harvest

di Julie A. Whan (Autore)

Julie Whan, 2021

In your youth, did you listen? Did you see? Open your eyes. I still have one more bee. Proxigean Harvest is a wild, speculative ride set in the next century, along the Atlantic coast, in a center park with things new and old—except real foliage. Four people meet under an old gazebo: A former biologist, farmer, spiritual guide, and two human relics whose presence is not scientifically possible. When Edith, a tall, black-haired biologist who is about to break ties with her company, meets Thomas, a farmer's grandson, and practically seduces him with an impossible nectarine, the two pair up and gather others in an urgent search for answers to a growing hunger problem. The couple meets a loud, ragged vagrant named Briggs who spends his time singing and loudly badgering a poor blind priest Julius, who does nothing but scrub the steps of his church. Briggs claims to have been aboard a historical cargo ship whose crew disappeared without a trace, leaving the ship to drift, but he is back, searching for something important to him. He thinks the priest and the younger couple can assist. And he has a small, secret friend tucked away. His stories are loud, colorful, and quite impossible—but so is the presence of the very real bees he brings. The moon is right and the season's Proxigean tide is almost upon them, with enough energy to assist. The Aurora is active. We must go down to the water and wait. What else can we do?
