Penguin Putnam Books for Young

Three dark, powerful tales, as sinister as anything the Brothers Grimm came up with, of jealousy and fear, of age and beauty, of growing up and of wanting to be a child for ever. Duffy's writing is astonishingly beautiful as she seductively draws you in to a shadowy fairy-tale world.

In OVERHEARD ON A SALTMARSH Carol Ann Duffy, the award-winning poet for both children and adults, has invited 29 of the best male and female poets now writing to select their favourite children's poem to appear alongside a poem of their own. The result is a wonderful, exhilarating and timeless kaleidoscope of children's poetry.

Overheard on a Saltmarsh: Poets' Favourite Poems

Pan/Macmillan

'Editing Answering Back, in which living poets replied to poems from the past, I was astonished to see how many of the poems, old and new, referred to the moon. I then started to keep a record of such references, and from my notebook, I see that in one morning alone I came across no fewer than nine poems, from the likes of Coleridge, Graves, Rosetti and Rowe and it was this selection that initially inspired To the Moon. There's something incredibly moving, and electrifying, to read a poem from the Chinese Book of Odes, written around 500 BC, and to feel both our distance from and our closeness to the past, and the Moon itself: I climbed the hill just as the new moon showed, I saw him coming on the southern road. My heart lays down its load. In collecting together poems such as these poems that span continents and centuries To the Moon shows what it is to be human; to love, to lose, to dream and to hope. The poems it contains give us a real and profound sense of our time on this planet, and the pleasures they offer are like space itself infinite.'

In Out of Fashion Carol Ann Duffy selects the best and freshest contemporary poets and asks them in turn to select their favourite poem, from another time or culture, which looks at how we dress, or undress, how we cover up or reveal. In these vibrant poems, we are shown how clothes, fashion and jewelry are both a necessity and a luxury. The result is a vital and entertaining dialogue between the two arts of poetry and fashion and between poets from the past and the present.
