The World's Wife: Poems
Be terrified. It's you I love, perfect man, Greek God, my own; but I know you'll go, betray me, strayfrom home.So better by far for me if you were stone.--from "Medusa"Stunningly original and haunting, the voices of Mrs. Midas, Queen Kong, and Frau Freud, to say nothing of the Devil's Wife herself, startle us with their wit, imagination, and incisiveness in this collection of poems written from the perspectives of the wives, sisters, or girlfris of famous -- and infamous -- male personages. Carol Ann Duffy is a master at drawing on myth and history, then subverting them in a vivid and surpris... [Read More]

Mrs. Scrooge: A Christmas Poem
• A witty modernized re-telling of the classic Christmas Carol story: Starting with “Scrooge doornail-dead,” Carol Ann Duffy’s elegantly witty take on the Dickens tale, like the Ghost of Christmas Past, takes the reader by the hand through the snowy streets of London and through the touching untold romance of one of literature’s most recognizable characters, Ebenezer Scrooge—through the eyes of his widow, Mrs. Scrooge. • A rare, uplifting moral tale: As in A Christmas Carol, Mrs. Scrooge learns from the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come that the gifts we give to...

Rapture: Poems
Winner of the T. S. Eliot Prize, "essential reading for the broken-hearted of all ages" (The Guardian)The effortless virtuosity, drama, and humanity of Carol Ann Duffy's verse have made her much admired among contemporary poets. Rapture is a book-length love poem and a moving act of personal testimony. But what sets these poems apart from other treatments of the subject is Duffy's refusal to simplify the contradictions of love and read its transformations-infatuation, longing, passion, commitment, rancor, separation, and grief-as either redemptive or destructive. This is a map of real love in ... [Read More]

S. Eliot Prize–winning Rapture.
