In it she uses her full poetic range: there are drinking songs, love poems, poems of political anger; there are elegies, too, for beloved friends, and – most movingly – the poet’s own mother. Woven and weaving through the book is its presiding spirit: the bee. Sometimes the bee is Duffy’s subject, sometimes it strays into the poem, or hovers at its edge. In the end, Duffy’s point is clear: the bee symbolizes what we have left of grace in the world, and what is most precious and necessary for us to protect.

Jacques Cazotte (1719-1792) è stato uno scrittore francese, ghigliottinato durante il regime delTerrore. La sua celebrità si lega al racconto “Il diavolo innamorato”, pubblicato nel 1772, racconto immerso nell’esoterismo, in cui è evidente l’esortazione alla prudenza nell’avvicinarsi alla magia e alla cabala.
