Poetry. Edited and Translated from the French by Fred Beake. Fred Beake grew up in the rural West Riding of Yorkshire. He studied Afro Asian studies at Sussex University, and has since translated widely from modern French and classical Latin, and more recently classical Greek. Thirty years of work as a poet reveal "a personally realized impersonal vision"--John Silkin. His is a vision emanating from an often surreal, sometimes seditious quest for meaning on the other side of music and myth. THE BEES OF THE HORIZON is a collection of twelve poems, including translations of Paul Valery 'Tombs by the sea', Louis Aragon 'Lilacs and Roses of 1940', Rene Char 'Artine' 'The She of History', etc., Robert Desnos 'The Night of Loveless Nights', and Michel Deguy 'Rural Remnants'.
