The Bee Hut a festival bestseller

September 2009

Dorothy Porter's new poetry collection, The Bee Hut, was among the bestselling titles at this year's Melbourne Writers' Festival.

By turns expansive and intimate, effusive and contemplative, these poems roam widely: there are journeys into history and to sacred places both mythic and deeply personal. As Andrea Goldsmith writes in her preface, Porter's writing "glows and shimmers" with passionate curiosity and exuberant love of life.
