Her final collection as Poet Laureate, a frank, disarming and deeply moving exploration of loss and remembrance in their many forms. Presented in a beautiful, foiled package, this will be the poetry book of the year.

I listened to this on audio it was read by Carol Ann Duffy herself and I have to be honest it was terrible audio.

I gave up after about 20 minutes, Bailed!

kaysworld1 @Andrew65 it's more the authors reading voice that really grated on me. 4y

A bloody work of genius ❤️
I know I shall come back to this a lot.
So many different strands to the poems, ones on Shakespeare, Richard III, Charlotte Bronte, Trump. Then personal ones about grief, love and the stars and life.
Wonderful 💜

LeahBergen Sounds wonderful! 6y
TrishB @LeahBergen I actually wanted to read it out loud to people on the bus this morning because some of the lines were just so wonderful. I didn‘t, but so wanted to. 6y

Felt like some poetry for my lunchtime read today. Got this one for Christmas.
Absolutely loving it so far ❤️ I think she is probably my favourite living poet.

Great interview here https://www.theguardian.com/books/2018/oct/27/carol-ann-duffy-poet-laureate-book...
A signed copy of this (via Waterstones) is on my Christmas 🎄 list 🤞🏻
The poem quoted in this article , Empty Nest made me a bit tearful! Took me by surprise!
