Rapture

Rapture, Carol Ann Duffy's seventh collection, is a book-length love-poem, and a moving act of personal testimony, but what sets these poems apart from other treatments of the subject is her refusal to simplify the contradictions of love, and read its transformations - infatuation, longing, passion, commitment, rancour, separation and grief - as either redemptive or destructive.
Rapture is a map of real love, in all its churning complexity; simultaneously direct and subtle, with poems that will find deep resonance in the experience of readers.

This collection is also available as an audio CD.
