In this interactive session, we’ll dive into the vivid, provocative, and emotionally rich world of Carol Ann Duffy, the first female Poet Laureate of the UK. Known for her sharp voice, feminist perspectives, and inventive use of form and persona, Duffy’s work challenges readers to think critically about identity, language, and power.
Together, we’ll explore selected poems from her collections - such as The World's Wife, Mean Time, and Rapture - and unpack how Duffy uses literary devices, historical references, and dramatic monologue to reshape familiar narratives. We’ll discuss major themes like gender, memory, love, and resistance, and develop annotation and close-reading skills to interpret layered meanings within her poetry.
Whether you're new to Duffy or already a fan, this session will give you fresh insights and a deeper appreciation for her craft. Expect thoughtful conversation, creative annotation, and plenty of poetic discovery!
