Carol Ann Duffy

[ailbhe]

I've only read one book of her work, a book I picked up in a second-hand bookshop by accident one day - it's called "The World's Wife."

I'm going to reread it, because it blew my tiny mind. I have no idea whether any of the individual poems are any good (though I think the Red riding Hood one was) but as a collection it's breathtaking.

At least to me.

I'm glad she's Poet Laureate. I think it will be interesting.
