Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Hardcover. This is another beautiful book from the inestimable Barbarian Press of Crispin and Jan Elsted. They say on their website: "We founded Barbarian Press in Boughton Monchelsea, Kent, in 1977, having conceived a love for beautifully printed books and a determination to see what we could do ourselves in that line. In 1978 we returned to Canada with presses and type and established the press on five wooded acres in Steelhead, British Columbia, near Mission. They write about choosing this work to print: "It has long been on our minds that we would like to celebrate the poetry of Canadian poet Heather Simeney Macleod. Crispin first came across her writing some twenty years ago when asked to consider the work of a number of young contemporary poets. Heather immediately stood out from the rest. We both felt that frisson one feels when encountering a voice which speaks truth in a language that is beautiful and inevitable. There is both revelation and recognition in such writing: the previously unknown and intimately known cohere. Her poetry joins the everyday with the extraordinary; memory with loss; European culture with Indigenous story and experience; sorrow with joy. Above all, she writes with an emotional honesty and depth that speaks for the human heart through all cultures, generations, and experiences. She does not ignore the injustices, the fractures, or the griefs, but finds ways of moving through them to an understanding that includes the reader in her journeys. This selection of her poems, chosen by Crispin and Jan, takes its title from the unpublished poem, 'Let the Bees Go Then', and is drawn from her four previously published volumes of poetry and more recent work. The bees seem a lovely simile for the poems' venture out to a new readership." One of 115 copies.
