Carol Ann Duffy has been a bold and original voice in British
poetry since the publication of Standing Female Nude in 1985. Since
then she has won every major poetry prize in the United Kingdom and
sold over one million copies of her books around the world. She was
appointed Poet Laureate in 2009. Her first Collected Poems includes
all of the poems from her nine acclaimed volumes of adult poetry -
from Standing Female Nude to Ritual Lighting (2014) - as well as
her much-loved Christmas poems, which celebrate aspects of
Christmas: from the charity of King Wenceslas to the famous truce
between the Allies and the Germans in the trenches in 1914.
Endlessly varied, wonderfully inventive, and emotionally powerful,
the poems in this book showcase Duffy's full poetic range: there
are poems written in celebration and in protest; public poems and
deeply personal ones; poems that are funny, sexy, heartbroken,
wise. Taken together they affirm her belief that 'poetry is the
music of being human'. Collected Poems is both the perfect
single-volume introduction for new readers and a glorious
opportunity for old friends to celebrate thirty years' work by one
of the country's greatest literary talents. It confirms
indisputably that 'Carol Ann Duffy is the most humane and
accessible poet of our time' (Rose Tremain, Guardian).
