{"product_id":"new-selected-poems-9780330433945","title":"New Selected Poems","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis volume draws together a body of work spanning the last twenty years. It includes poems from six major collections  from \"Standing Female Nude\" (1985) to \"Feminine Gospels\" (2002)  and a handful of other poems  collected here for the first time. It shows a writer who hit the ground running  emerging into the world a fully formed and utterly distinctive voice  and who  twenty years later  can be counted among the foremost of the poets of any generation. From the outset  the world is her oyster. Carol Ann Duffys curiosity takes her across continents  and into the minds of psychopaths  babies  queens and giggling schoolgirls with equal relish. It is a strange yet disarmingly familiar world  shot with mythic  fabulous and popular histories. Language is turned inside out and upside down  its riches and exoticism found in the demotic of the everyday as much as in foreign parts. She has a quicksilver intelligence that can move from ribald mimicry one moment to an intensely tough and affecting lyricism the next. This physical  visceral poetry gives true meaning to the concept of a body of work  and will provide a perfect introduction to new readers and a glorious sum of parts to old acquaintances.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45924563517493,"sku":"ByrdShop_0330433946","price":99.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780330433945.jpg?v=1787676601","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/new-selected-poems-9780330433945","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
