Winner of the 1993 Forward Poetry Prize and the Whitbread Poetry Award. In her prize-winning fourth collection, Mean Time, Carol Ann Duffy dramatizes scenes from childhood, adolescence and adulthood, finding moments of grace or consolation in memory, love and language amid the complexities of life. These are powerful poems of loss, betrayal and desire.

I read this as part of my a-levels so even though I love Carol Ann Duffy's work I do associate this anthology with school. I do however really enjoy this anthology. Duffy's work, even though it's poetry, is relatively straightforward and she doesn't beat around the bush with the themes that she discusses. She will always be my favourite poet.
