MEDIA REVIEWS
'Mysterious yet accessible; both truthful and beautiful; this selection is a paean to the power of love and of language's ability to capture it.'- The Sunday Telegraph
'Carol Ann Duffy is a poet who covers the stormy waterfront of desire,devotion and despair...from distant yearning to wild new passion through absence,boredom and infidelity,to break-ups,grief and solitude...As always,she manages the rare feat of building on traditions,forebears,allusions while stirring and shaking the emotions with muscular,unpretentious force.'- The Independent
