She deserves to outsell most of the novelists on your shelf * Observer * One of the most important, and rightly loved, poets of our time * Independent * It isn’t often that I pick up a book of poems and read it straight through like a novel, but that is exactly what happened with Rapture. Read this book if you are in love, out of love or waiting for it to come along -- Daisy Goodwin * Mail on Sunday * Carol Ann Duffy is the most humane and accessible poet of our time, and Rapture is essential reading for the broken-hearted of all ages -- Rose Tremain, Books of the Year * Guardian * Author InformationCarol Ann Duffy lives in Manchester, where she is Professor and Creative Director of the Writing School at Manchester Metropolitan University.
