Love Poems

Author(s): Carol Ann Duffy

Poetry

Whether writing of longing or adultery, romance or seduction, Carol Ann Duffy captures the truth of what it means to love, to be in love, and to be loved in return - and, sometimes, of what it means when love ends. Her poetry speaks of tangled, heated passion; of declarations, arguments and jealousies; of love both requited and unrequited, both fierce and tender. As with all her writing, these poems are alive to the sounds of modern life, but also attuned to - and rich with - the traditions of love poetry. Containing some of her most popular poems, Love Poems displays all the eloquence and skill that have made Carol Ann Duffy one of the foremost poets of her time.
