Carol Ann Duffy "Standing Female Nude" (Anvil Press)




Each of these poems is a graceful scene, fully conceived and delivered. While some of them are narratives that fade into the background of the larger work, there are plenty of poems here which I reread upon first discovery, and which I'll return to in the future. It's a full collection, and for lovers of poetry, it doesn't disappoint. Most readers will find some favorites here, particularly considering her variety of styles and presentations. The stand-out poem is likely the title poem, but none of them are a waste of time. Highly recommended.
