Description
A fearless and timely collection of poems that dissects the political landscape with wit, anger, and profound insight from Britain's former Poet Laureate.
In Politics, Carol Ann Duffy turns her sharp poetic gaze to the tumultuous world of contemporary politics, creating a collection that is both urgent and enduring. These poems confront the lies, corruption, and absurdities of political life while celebrating the power of truth and the importance of speaking out against injustice.
From searing indictments of political hypocrisy to tender tributes to activists and truth-tellers, Duffy's poems capture the full spectrum of political emotion—outrage, despair, hope, and determination. Her language is both accessible and incisive, transforming complex political realities into memorable, quotable verse that resonates long after reading.
With her characteristic blend of humor and gravity, Duffy explores themes of power, resistance, democracy, and civic responsibility. These poems serve as both witness to our political moment and call to action, reminding readers that poetry has always been a form of political engagement.
Essential reading for anyone seeking to understand our political moment, Politics demonstrates why Carol Ann Duffy remains one of Britain's most vital and necessary voices.
Key themes: Political corruption, democracy and freedom, resistance and activism, power and accountability, civic responsibility, truth vs. propaganda, contemporary British politics
