Mysterious yet accessible; both truthful and beautiful; this
selection is a paean to the power of love and of language’s ability
to capture it.
*Sunday Telegraph*
Carol Ann Duffy is a poet who covers the stormy waterfront of
desire, devotion and despair . . . from distant yearning to wild
new passion through absence, boredom and infidelity, to break-ups,
grief and solitude . . . As always, she manages the rare feat of
building on traditions, forebears, allusions while stirring and
shaking the emotions with muscular, unpretentious force.
