| Love Poems, By Carol Ann Duffy
With its daintily drawn cover artwork on a purple ground, this selection from the Poet Laureate’s work comes all tricked out like some Valentine’s Day gift. Beware. Carol Ann Duffy’s idea of a Valentine means “Not a red rose or a satin heart.” Instead, “I give you an onion”. This “moon wrapped in brown paper” will “blind you with tears” – but let it gently simmer, and you come to savour the sweetness underneath.
