	Title (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Language, therefore, is an unreliable form of expression and, as such, is deconstructed by Duffy through the use of dramatic monologues to represent speech rather than written forms, and by her juxtaposition of seemingly random nouns and adjectival phrases and her use of compound words.
		Duffy, perhaps, suggests that men are similarly constrained by masculine representations of their own identity.
		Duffy, like Oppenheim, plays on the image of women and undermines it by juxtaposing the domestic with the erotic, the surreal with the ordinary; the domestic image of the cup is subverted by the fur's implication of pubic hair (Rees-Jones, p.32).

	Carol Ann Duffy at the Edinburgh International Book Festival (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Carol Ann began her reading with an extract from a fairly long poem The Laughter of Stafford Girl's High published in her book Feminine Gospels and she returned several times to this poem throughout her readings, interspersing these readings with others, some of a more serious bent.
		But Carol Ann Duffy also demonstrated a sensual, erotic sense of women's bodies and minds in the love poems she read, and also the tenderness, the fierceness, the complexity of a mother's love in her poem The Light Gatherer which concerns her daughter.
		Carol Ann Duffy has a new book Rapture published in September, a few copies of which were available at the book festival, and I would strongly urge anyone with a love of words, to acquaint themselves with her poetry as soon as they can.

		Carol Ann Duffy's "The World's Wife" is a collection of poetry that looks towards the woman's point of view in famous tales regarding men.
		Each of Duffy's poems is a version of history, myth or legend, but from the female perspective (hence the title).
		Don't get me wrong, I understand why Duffy has written them the way she has, but it does make you wonder how a collection by a male poet may be received, if the poems took the same tone towards women.

		This whole book, whose see-saw internal balances and rhymes you see working in that quatrain, is a superb demonstration of such "only art": Duffy's formidably inventive artistry, her dedication to the craft and tradition of poetry, and above all the love poem.
		Often Duffy breaks a central line, so it looks as if we are casually beginning a new stanza when in fact we are not - just as in the ambiguous stages of a love affair.
		Duffy is supremely sophisticated in making sound and form match sense and context.

		Carol Ann Duffy reconfirmed her reputation for both last night when Rapture, her latest collection, won the £10,000 T S Eliot Prize, having already proved a hit in the shops.
		She was awarded a £75,000 grant over five years from the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts "to develop the enjoyment of poetry, particularly for children".
		A T S Eliot Prize spokesman said there was huge popular acclaim for Duffy, whose appeal has been likened to that of Philip Larkin, although he is unlikely to have approved of her brand of sparky feminism.
