Between 1967 & 1972 the Bee Gees sold twenty-five million records. & during those five years the Bee Gees wrote & sang some of the most memorable iconic songs of their era songs that were everywhere in the air on the radio & in everyone's head one Top 5 single after another in America & in the United Kingdom: 1941 New York Mining Disaster" " To Love Somebody" " Massachusetts" " Holiday" " World" " Words" "I Gotta Get a Message To You" "I Started a Joke" & " Lonely Days". In 1969 they played the Royal Albert Hall with a seventy-piece orchestra & a one-hundred-piece marching b&. Of course they sold out the joint
- standing room only. The Bee Gees were the first band to play & sell out 100 000-seat sports arenas. (The Beatles sold only a measly 55 000 tickets at Shea Stadium). In 1971 the brothers wrote & sang one of the most beautiful & enduring pop songs of all time: " How Do You Mend A Broken Heart?" & in 1972 " Run To Me" became the final No. 1 of the first Bee Gees era. Pop charts are fickle; pop audiences more fickle still. Bands have always come & gone bands have always been forgotten. But no band has ever risen as high as the Bee Gees did in 1972 & then fallen as low as the Bee Gees had by 1974. " The Bee Gees" will chronicle the life & career one of the best known most enduring most recognizable & singular bands of the last fifty years. Their story is the story of pop music over the last forty years of music that was neither rock nor soul nor country but a singular sound that fit no genre & that no other artist could emulate. The Bee Gees' saga is the epic story of three men three brothers in a unique musical partnership. Unlike say the Jacksons the Bee Gees always needed one another. Each brought a unique gift to the mix & the others knew it. From that need grew the reality of having to put up with each other. For forty years... Even with Barry's mad ambition he could not succeed without his brothers. Each brother's personality warrants its story told & all three are caught in this compelling family dynamic. & as weird human tragic & compelling as the Bee Gees are as individual characters the tensions between them provide the core of their amazing drama. Through all their musical changes the core of the story remains: family. The Beatles could after all break up & go their separate ways. The Bee Gees never had that luxury. Over a four-decade career they were conjoined by blood & the demands of a sound none of them could make alone."

Bee Journal" is a startlingly original poetry sequence: a poem-journal of beekeeping that chronicles the life of the hive from the collection of a small nucleus on the first day to the capture of a swarm two years later. It observes the living architecture of the comb the range & locality of the colony; its flights flowers water sources parasites lives & deaths. These poems were written at the hive wearing a veil & gloves & the journal is an intrinsic part of the kinetic activity of keeping bees: making tiny regular checks in the turn around the central figure of the sun & minute exploratory interventions through the round of the year. The book is full of moments of revelation
- particularly of the relationship between the domestic & the wild. In attempting to record & invoke something of the complexity of the relationship between keeper & kept it tunes ear & speech towards the ecstasy of bees between the known & the unknown. Because of its genesis as a working journal there is here an unusual intimacy & deep scrutiny of life & death in nature. The language itself is dense & clotted the imagery thrillingly fresh & the observing eye close scrupulous & full of wonder. Bee Journal is one of the most unusual & exciting poetry debuts in years."
