The essential Carol Ann Duffy

The perfect introduction for new readers, the essential selection for students, and a glorious sum of parts for old acquaintances.

Endlessly varied and wonderfully inventive, New Selected Poems contains poems chosen by Carol Ann Duffy from her first six acclaimed collections, from Standing Female Nude to Feminine Gospels, and a handful of other poems collected here for the first time.
