Selling Manhattan

Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy's stunning second collection, originally published in 1986. <p>One of those rare books that is immediately enjoyable yet will repay many re-readings' <i>Poetry Review</i><br><br>Carol Ann Duffy's highly praised second collection, for which she was given the Somerset Maughan Award, showcases the Poet Laureate's skill even at the very start of her career. Within are poems that reveal the full range of her interests: from the dramatic monologues, to meditations on death and art, to poems of protest and poems of love. Throughout it all, though, is a resounding determination to give voices to those who are usually voiceless, and always apparent is her inimitable wit, wisdom and imagination. <br><br>At once tender and sharp, moving and humourous, <i>Selling Manhattan</i> has dazzled both readers and critics ever since it was first published in 1987.</p>
