The Book Vipers discussion

The place to discuss The Bees by Carol Ann Duffy

This is the August read, isn't it?

It is

Finished this yesterday. First of here that I have read, and it is wonderful. Review is here

I was completely overwhelmed by some of her poems, particularly Water. She is a very powerful poet, her mastery of words is magnificent. The broad themes running throughout encompass all life and what lies between. I am hooked and am very much looking forward to reading The World's Wife.

Very moved by the Last Post, particularly with the centenary being marked this year.

I know I was too late reading this for the challenge, but wow! A beautiful collection of poetry. I devoured it in under 24 hours, reading a handful at a time. I will be reading many of them again before returning the book to the library.

It was very good wasn't it.

I loved it. So many brilliant poems
