«The Bees» is the poetry collection by Carol Ann Duffy, published by Picador in paperback (83 pages, in English).
Carol Ann Duffy's first collection as Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom. It brings together tavern songs, love poems, political protest poems and elegies to friends and to the author's mother. The bee runs through the book as a connecting thread: sometimes the central theme, sometimes a presence at the edge of the poem, and symbolises the grace that remains in the world and what we must protect.
Winner of the Costa Poetry Award 2011 and shortlisted for the T. S. Eliot Prize. Published in September 2012.
For readers of poetry in English interested in contemporary British lyric poetry.
