War Photographer - Poem by Carol Ann Duffy

 

Poetry is an area I do not explore frequently enough. In an effort, to seek out new to me poets, I performed an online search for modern day poets. Carol Ann Duffy was a name that popped up during my online search.

With it being Women's History Month, I figured why not focus on a woman poet. Here's what I learned on Wikipedia about Carol Ann Duffy:

She is a professor of contemporary poetry at Manchester Metropolitan University, and was appointed Poet Laureate in May 2009,[4] and her term expired in 2019. She was the first female poet laureate, the first Scottish-born poet and the first openly lesbian poet to hold the Poet Laureate position.[5]
