Standing Female Nude
Standing Female Nude | Carol Ann Duffy
4 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
Carol Ann Duffy's outstanding first collection, Standing Female Nude, introduced readers to all they would come to love about her poetry. From lovers to wives to war photographers, the poems it contains range from the delicately poignant to the fiercely political, exploring memory, gender, childhood and place. Within it are also some of her best-known poems, including 'Education for Leisure', as well as, of course, the poem from which the collection takes its title. First published in 1985 to widespread critical acclaim, Standing Female Nude is a work of startling originality and the starting point of the Poet Laureate's dazzling poetic career.

#PoetryMatters Day 13: #Stand - I featured this poem when I shared a post celebrating the nakedness of women here, its physicality and vulnerability: https://wp.me/pDlzr-khf

#LetsTravelAugust Day 10: A literary icon in the #UnitedKingdom, Duffy is a mighty force in her own right. This collection seemed a little more scattered and too obscure for my taste tho. I would have appreciated a Poet‘s introduction explaining how the poems actually come together in a cohesive fashion, just for the reader‘s understanding and edification. This one is my favourite in this collection. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-kgP

First read of #readathon, and I really enjoyed it! The poems were different to what I expected but I've definitely got a few bookmarked, including the collection's namesake. Definitely recommend!
