More From Carol Ann Duffy
- "The moment of inspiration can come from memory, or language, or the imagination, or experience – anything that makes an impression forcibly enough for language to form."
- "I think poetry can help children deal with the other subjects on the curriculum by enabling them to see a subject in a new way."
- "You can find poetry in your everyday life, your memory, in what people say on the bus, in the news, or just what’s in your heart."
More In Poetry
- "As an actor, there is room for a certain amount of creativity, but you’re always ultimately going to be saying somebody else’s words. I don’t think I’d have the stamina, skill or ability to write a novel, but I’d love to write short stories and poetry, because those are my two passions."― Daniel Radcliffe
- "I don’t know a better preparation for life than a love of poetry and a good digestion."― Zona Gale
- "It’s always good when women win things in fiction because it tends to be more male-dominated, unlike poetry, which is more equal."― Carol Ann Duffy
