In the work "Feminine Gospels," Carol Ann Duffy draws from history, archetypes, the Bible, and the fantastical to create various perspectives - and revisions - of female identity. These poems strip women bare and reveal them in all their forms and disguises, narrating tall tales as true testimonials and crafting modern myths from real women who appear in every aspect of their lives - as bodies and cadavers, writers and workers, consumers and dieters, fairytale queens or girls next door.
"Part of Duffy's talent - in addition to her ability for everyday resonance, her wonderful, strong, fragmented lines, her subtlety - is her vocal art... From verbal details to expansive imaginary flights, her words seem freshly cut from the minds of non-poets - that is, she makes it look easy," remarked Charlotte Mendelson, author of "The Exhibitionist."
