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*
Carol Ann Duffy is one of the freshest and bravest talents to
emerge in British poetry - any poetry - for years. Her project is
both subtle and experimental... a contemporary woman poet whose
poetic register reaches all the way from a subversive eroticism to
a self-conscious regionalism...This new book contains wonderful
poems, which extend her lyric range.
