Carol Ann Duffy is an incredible poet who I have barely read before our English classes. Her meticulous crafting of words breaks through the dispositions of society. She takes stereotypes and twists them to our disgust. Disgust in ourselves and at society for upholding such beliefs. I admire her use of extended metaphors for ideas and how she merges different metaphors to create a solar system of ideas, celestial in nature. The grounding of these distant ideas truly brings her poems to an empyreal level.
