But what sets these poems apart from other treatments of the subject is Duffy's refusal to simplify the contradictions of love and read its transformations-infatuation, longing, passion, commitment, rancor, separation, and grief-as either redemptive or destructive. This is a map of real love in all its churning complexity, simultaneously direct and subtle, showing us that a song can be made of even the most painful episodes in our lives. With poems that will find deep resonance in the experience of most readers, it is a collection that can and does speak for us all.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCarol Ann Duffy\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of several volumes of poetry, including \u003ci\u003eThe World's Wife\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eRapture\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as edited poetry collections and books for children.
