A beautiful anthology of love poems. A much loved experience for my nan who is infatuated with love. Gives a spark of joy to someone who dearly needs it š–¤

Some of the rhyming schemes fell flat for me, but regardless the title is accurate and she fulfilled the expectations of incredible, overwhelming ardour.

An unselfconscious collection about the joys and pains of romantic love. Duffy is unabashedly giddy, angry, and mournful in turn. These are easily digestible poems, and I would recommend these to anyone looking for an entry to reading poetry. 3.5āļø¸

#summer #poetrymatters
Daughter picked this one as she liked the juxtaposition between summer and snow (she did really say that š- she‘s studying Duffy‘s Feminist Gospels at the moment so is familiar with a lot of her stuff)

MayJasper So lovely 5y

MayJasper I so admire poets who can turn 24 words into something that evokes a strong emotional response from their reader. How it is done, I have no idea. 5y

TrishB @MayJasper so true!! You just know the passion behind those words. The whole collection is an amazing trip through the emotions of falling in and out of love! 5y

I love Carol Ann Duffy! ā¯¤ļø¸ Her poems are can be witty and cutting and laugh out loud hilarious, but she also writes beautiful love poems. Some of these make my heart ache. And the cover is just to die for!
