All are interlinked. Carol Ann Duffy, Liz Lochhead and Gillian Clarke, the wise and wonderful National Poet of Wales--to whom Duffy dedicates her new collection, whilst also contributing a brilliantly perceptive foreword to Lochhead's new publication--are a force for absolute good in the land. In another serendipitous celestial occurrence, the two Scots in the trio--Duffy and Lochhead, Scotland's Makar--have their major new books out simultaneously. Duffy's The Bees is her first collection since becoming UK poet laureate.
