Beekeeping poetry book by Leandro Frígoli. Five compositions interweaving the world of bees with love, grief, friendship and the philosophy of living in nature. Written in Spanish. 2nd edition. Abisinia Publishing.
Leandro Frígoli is both a poet and a beekeeper, and in El guardián de la colmena (The Guardian of the Beehive) he weaves both crafts together with a naturalness that only someone who has opened hives and written verse can achieve. Five compositions where bees are not decorative metaphor but real protagonists: their labour, their organisation, their fragility in the face of the world around them. Written in Spanish.
From La poética de la abeja (The Poetics of the Bee) to Phylisco de Thasos: el salvaje (Phyliscus of Thasos: the Wild One), including a tribute to the blind naturalist François Huber, each composition weaves a dialogue between apiary observation and reflections on love, grief, friendship and work. As Fredy Yezzed writes in the prologue: "The dark honey of these verses speaks of love, grief, friendship and labour."
Frígoli threads finely between the beekeeper's daily life and the aesthetic pleasure of naming things. The result is a book that invites you to turn your gaze back to nature, to draw parallels between colony life and community life. Published by Abisinia Editorial as part of the Concierto Animal poetry collection — a tribute to Blanca Varela. Second edition.
