The effortless virtuosity, directness, drama and humanity of Carol Ann
Duffy's verse have made her our most admired and best-loved
contemporary poet. Rapture, her seventh collection, 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 that Duffy refuses
to simplify the contradictions of love, and read its transformations -
infatuation, longing, passion, commitment, rancour, separation and
grief - as simply redemptive or destructive.
Rapture is a map of real love, in all its churning complexity. Yet in
showing us that a song can be made of even the most painful episodes in
our lives, Duffy has accessed a new level of directness that sacrifices
nothing in the way of subtlety of expression. These are poems that will
find deep rhymes in the experience of most readers, and nowhere has
Duffy more eloquently articulated her belief that poetry should speak
for us all.
Part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the best of modern
literature
