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 literary poetry award in the UK and has sold over a million copies of her books worldwide. She was appointed Poet Laureate in 2009.
Her first Complete Poems Collection includes all the poems from her nine acclaimed volumes of adult poetry—from Standing Female Nude to Ritual Lighting—as well as beloved Christmas poems that 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.
Diverse, 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, and wise. Together, they affirm her belief that 'Poetry is the music of the human soul.'
The Poems Collection is the perfect single-volume introduction for new readers and a glorious opportunity for old friends to celebrate thirty years of work from one of the country's greatest literary talents. It undoubtedly confirms that 'Carol Ann Duffy is the most humane and accessible poet of our time' (Rose Tremain, Guardian).
