Carol Ann Duffy is the most humane and accessible poet of our
time
*Guardian*
Duffy is magnificent, grounded, heartfelt, dedicated to the notion
that poetry can give us the music of life itself
*Scotsman*
Accessible and entertaining, yet her form is classical, her
technique razor-sharp. She is read by people who don't really read
poetry, yet she maintains the respect of her peers. Reviewers
praise her touching, sensitive, witty evocations of love, loss,
dislocation, nostalgia; fans talk of greeting her at readings 'with
claps and cheers that would not sound out of place at a rock
concert.
