This book features in our Queer Reading Guide.
The Bee Hut brings together the poems Doroty Porter wrote in the last five years of her life.
By turns expansive and intimate, effusive and contemplative, these poems roam widely - into history and to sacred places both mythic and personal. Porter's writing glows and shimmers with passionate curiosity and exuberant love of life.
An extract from Caesarea:
Sometimes a new place
has the ferocity of a gale
ripping the calm
off a safe harbour
making the drowned bells peel
Hallelujah for all your future
false prophets
and glorious. glorious.
lost gods.
'(Dorothy Porter's)' poems are short, powerful, beautiful and sometimes brutal. Each poem is a portrait, a sensation, a short story, a joke, or a reflection in itself.' -The Times
