Rapture, the collection that won the T.S. Eliot Prize, is a book-length work of love poems and a moving personal testimony from the former Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom, Carol Ann Duffy. These poetic compositions stand out for Duffy's ability to intertwine the contradictions of love, presenting its transformations—such as attraction, desire, passion, commitment, bitterness, distance, and regret—in a way that is neither simply reductionist nor destructive.
Rapture is a map of true love, in all its shifting complexity. Duffy shows us that even the painful episodes of our lives can be turned into songs, offering a new dimension of immediate expression that does not sacrifice subjectivity. The effortless virtuosity, direct speech, drama, and humanity of Carol Ann Duffy's poetry have made her the most admired and beloved contemporary poet. These are poems that will resonate deeply with the experiences of most readers and that underscore Duffy's belief that poetry should speak for all of us.
Part of the Picador Collection, which showcases the best of contemporary literature.
