More About The Bees
bees are the batteries of orchards, gardens, guard them. Carol Ann Duffy, The Bees What will you do now with the gift of your left life? Carol Ann Duffy, The Bees along with the rest of our helpless world; and, O, if you could, you would, where lovers walked, sell off trees and not give a flying fuck for the muted mausoleums of the bees. Carol Ann Duffy, The Bees
Firstly, I appreciate the diversity of subject matter (as the blurb promises bees themselves are a motif, of course, but they dont actually feature in the majority of the poems) and how Duffy attempts to reflect the zeitgeist (its very modern and sometimes relatable), as poet laureates are wont to do. I can also respect that it was... I found this collection a bit of a bumpy ride if I'm honest. References to "bees" are not surprisingly dispersed through the book and there is a poem "The Bees" which opens the collection - and in a way that poem summed up my overall impression of the whole collection.There are moments here that I thought were absolutely magnificent.... I didn't even know of this collection, which I think must show how distracted I've been lately, because I love Carol Ann Duffy's work -- and there are some glorious ones here. This is her first collection since becoming poet laureate, I believe, and it contains the poetry she wrote in that capacity -- 'Mrs Schofield's GCSE', 'Last Post'...
