 Great poetry!May 08, 2009
By Joyce Akesson

Carol Ann Duffy, the first woman poet laureate, explores many different themes in this selection of poems from childhood memories to relationships.
Her poems are accessible and entertaining and yet she is touching, sensitive and witty.

Darkly LovelyJan 02, 2010
By carynification
I never liked poetry before discovering the dark, haunting appeal of Carol Ann Duffy. "Valentine" will stick with me the rest of my life.

 Ink writing in poetry bookApr 10, 2011
By Thornton Walker
I was disappointed to discover that the book I purchased has writing on a lot of the pages in ink, I know it's second hand, but I didn't expect this.
