Critics Review
-
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.
