About this product
Product Information
How can we have hope in a world that is dying? Global problems like climate change feel terrifying, too big for one person to take on. But what if, instead of being overwhelmed, we were to look for hope in the smallest details? A dying moth falling against a kiss. A distracted lover's hip pressing into a table. A single carder bee, dying on the driveway of a suburban garden in Wales. With a forensic eye, Howells takes us on a journey through ordinary human lives and the extraordinary natural world we are in danger of losing. The carder bee carries the story of a colony, a species, and, ultimately, the fate of all life on earth. The mermaid weaves an almost beautiful tale of a tragic miscarriage. The magpie writes yearning letters to her lost lover. The brilliant kingfisher flits through the mind of a woman with dementia. Through each exacting portrait, we begin to understand something special, a language of bees, and discover for ourselves how intimately we are all connected and what the natural world is trying to tell us.

Reviews
"These poems are rich in language, in poetic resources, in knowledge of nature - everything from the sexlessness of hydrangeas to how a bee breathes. Above all they are rich in love, for the world that we are inseparable from and on the verge of destroying." --Matthew Francis, Author of Wing (Faber, 2020) " The Language of Bees is a collection bursting with the beauty and life of the natural world. In these ambitious and accomplished poems, Rae Howells forges a unique and sparkling language, which is capable of giving us all the wonder and richness, the multi-sensual onslaught, of the world around us. Whether the subject is an interaction with a wasp or a mermaid, the thoughts of trees or the feelings of a mother, the poems continually boom with so much life. The reader is left with the poems' unforgettable phrases, their emotive impact and, more than anything else, the excitement that happens when a voice so fully itself meets subject matter of the greatest importance. On page after page, the power of these poems has us looking up, wanting to shout Hey world! Look at this!" --Jonathan Edwards, Author of Gen (Seren, 2018) "Rae Howells' words are electric with the sparks of motherhood, love and loss. Even in their depictions of suffering and sorrow, her poems are alive, humming and pulsing in their assured acceptance of grief as an intrinsic part of life. In The Language of Bees , we are reminded of the significance of every earthly cell, from a pulsing spark on an ultrasound scan to a bee hibernating above a winter Pilates class.' --Mari Ellis Dunning, Author of Salacia (Parthian, 2018) "Surprising and vivid! A poet to watch." --Robert Minhinnick, Author of Diary of the Last Man (Carcanet, 2017)
