Description
The Bees is Duffy's clearest affirmation yet of her belief in the poem as "secular prayer," as the means by which we remind ourselves of what is most worthy of our attention and concern, our passion and our praise. Woven into and weaving through the book is its presiding spirit: the bee. Sometimes the bee is Diffy's subject; sometimes it strays into the poem or hovers at its edge--and the reader soon begins to anticipate its appearance.
