Carol Ann Duffy is a master at drawing on myth and history, then subverting them in a vivid and surprising way to create poems that have the pull of the past and the crack of the contemporary.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 057119995X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: PKV.057119995X.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Duffy, Carol Ann\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: It's been through some chapters of life!
