‘Indisputably her best volume’ Sunday Times
"The Bees" is Carol Ann Duffy's first collection of poems as Poet Laureate. In this collection, she fully utilizes her poetic range: there are drinking songs, love poems, poems of political rage, as well as memorial references to beloved friends and, most poignantly, to the poet's mother. The spirit that permeates the book is the bee. Sometimes the bee is Duffy's theme, other times it enters the poem or hovers on its edge. In the end, Duffy makes it clear that the bee symbolizes what is left of grace in the world and what is most precious and necessary for us to protect. "The Bees", both intimate and public, is a work of great power from one of our most beloved poets.
