Carol Ann Duffy: Politics (Poetry)
One of the English language’s best-loved living poets, in Red: Politics – one of four themed collections – Carol Ann Duffy presents us with her favourites among her political poetry.
Drawing on work written over four decades and arranged chronologically, Duffy also adds to the selection her poem written for Danny Boyle’s Pages of the Sea memorial for The Great War.
It makes for a sequence that is searching, memorializing, healing.
