  • i had the unfortunate 'pleasure' of studying her poetry... and i wanted to kill her in the end... she gives feminists a bad name. she takes herself SO seriously. lmao.

  • Doubled-edged chalice at 0.48?

    Poisoned chalice, or double-edged sword, surely.

    Come on now, Charlotte Higgins. If you're going to be lazy enough to use idioms, at least get them right.

  • "Four hundred years of male domination came to an end today with the election of Carol Ann Duffy as poet laureate." why can't we appreciate women without contrasting it to a hatred for men?

  • @CharlesCLeary you might be too lazy to look into more than the superficial

  • @CharlesCLeary peter jay called it that, i think shes quoting him

  • Rapture, while nothing less than scintillating, sadly became a bit too repetitive in the end. One can only do so much with the subject of love before it becomes staler than a damp old sock. Hardy knew what it was all about. On the other hand, she's the only woman, in my opinion, who can actually write decent fucking literature.

  • @markportus1

    WOW......what brought this on?

  • I love the simplicity of her work 'A crow and a scarecrow' - of course there are some works I do not like - but then I just don't read them. if you are not fond of her work, find another poets work that you do like; it's as simple as that!

    Stop coming onto UTube and posting your inner hatred out to the world:)

  • I had so much respect for her. Then I met her...

  • Keep up the good work Carol!

  • Is this a hate-on-Carol-Ann-Duffy fest or what? I love her. Why even search her if you don't have anything nice to say?

  • also she talks like a fat drunk pretentious cunt
