Beschreibung

'One of those rare books that is immediately enjoyable yet will repay many re-readings' Poetry Review

'Not only a fresh voice but a dexterity with language, that glorious juggling which poets sometimes achieve with a sense of surprise even to themselves' Elizabeth Jennings, Independent

Carol Ann Duffy's highly praised second collection, for which she was given the Somerset Maugham Award, showcases the Poet Laureate's skill even at the very start of her career. Within it are poems that reveal the full range of her interests: from 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 voice to those who are usually voiceless, and always apparent is her inimitable wit, wisdom and imagination.

At once tender and sharp, moving and humorous, Selling Manhattan has dazzled both readers and critics ever since it was first published in 1987.
