Two poems really called to me: "If I was Dead" and "Correspondents." Perhaps on another day, in another time, I'd have felt more connection to Duffy's work. ( ) Although some readers may perhaps appreciate poetry for its technical mastery, to many readers the quality of poetry will largely depend on the sympathy and emotion evoked by the poems. Love poems by Carol Ann Duffy may not be so attractive to readers who are looking for a sensible celebration of love, unless the reader is willing to accept adultery as a legitimate form of love. Most poems in this collection are written in free verse. Poetry has always liked escapism. Names like Wordsworth, Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Coleridge - they all followed the old Bond adage 'the world is not enough' in one way or another. Recently though, poetry has been trying to escape much more than just the world. The poets of today find themselves cornered, because, after all, what is the use of poetry nowadays? A re-invention of poetry, therefore, seems, if not necessary, mandatory. This forced creative impulse sends a lot of poets down strange paths though. To me, good poetry is, first of all, readable. Understandable. I can respect TS Eliot's great works full of references, but do I find them aesthetically pleasing? Not quite so. But let's stay on topic (not that I have been on topic once so far, but hey, the Dude abides). 'Love Poems', unsurprisingly a collection of romantic poetry, is a well written little booklet. It has some good poems in it. Others, I frankly don't care for at all. I do believe the poems are best read out loud. I was, however, a bit disappointed. The few bits of ingenuity that are present show that this could have been so much more. The simpeler poems are the better ones; Duffy likes her somewhat mysterious imagery however. Not really necessary in my opinion. Then again, it's poetry - what do I know. Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Whether writing of longing or adultery, seduction or simple homely acts of love, Carol Ann Duffy brings to her readers the truth of each experience. Her poetry speaks of tangled, heated passion; of erotic love; fierce and hungry love; unrequited love; and of the end of love. It recognises too the way that love can make the everyday sacred. As with all her writing, these poems are alive to the sounds of modern life, but also attuned to - and rich with - the traditions of love poetry. Love Poems contains some of Carol Ann Duffy's most popular poems. Always imaginative, heartfelt and direct, Duffy finds words for our experiences in love and out of love, and displays all the eloquence and skill that have made her one of the foremost poets of her time.
