Dramas & Plays

Moon Zoo

A lunar landscape is the setting for a very special zoo where elephants' "trunks are telescopes probing space, pointing up at the Earth's blue face" and baboons "jump twenty feet into outer space and flash their bottoms at the human race!"The moon tiger scratches at shooting stars, polar bears float down from their mountain for starfish and salad, and the zookeeper, of course, is an alien, complete with eight bright green hands. Lyrical, humorous verses illuminate an entrancing world that is both familiar and strange, while soft-toned, wonderfully strange illustrations capture the eerie beauty of the moon zoo.

Animals

Macmillan Children`s Books

Mermaids both milk the cows and read the calves a bedtime story while water-pigs hunt for pearls in this beautiful, poetic tale illustrated with quiet magic Under the blue-green fields of the DeepBleat the bubbly baas of webbed-feet sheepStarfish twinkle in the ocean skyElectric eels are comets zooming high.The moon is the silver of a dolphin's skinIn the watery heavenWhere angelfish swim.Dive under the sea to the underwater farmyard where dolphins dance among the sheep and cows, while a musical octopus plays. Ethereal and atmospheric illustrations perfectly capture the slow, lulling flow of the cows and other farmyard animals in this fantastically strange bedtime story.

History & Criticism

Pan Books, Ltd.

The effortless virtuosity, directness, drama and humanity of Carol Anne Duffy's verse has made her our most admired and best-loved contemporary poet. Rapture, her eighth collection, is a book-length love-poem, and a moving act of personal testimony; but what sets these poems apart from other treatments of the subject is that Duffy refuses to simplify the contradictions of love, and read its transformationsinfatuation, longing, passion, commitment, rancour, divorce and griefas simply redemptive or destructive. Rapture is a map of real love, in all its churning complexity. Yet in showing us that a song can be made of even the most painful episodes in our lives, Duffy has accessed a new level of directness that sacrifices nothing in the way of subtlety of expression. These are poems that will find deep rhymes in the experience of most readers, and nowhere has Duffy more eloquently articulated her belief that poetry should speak for us all.

The effortless virtuosity, drama, and humanity of Carol Ann Duffy's verse have made her much-admired among contemporary poets. Her seventh collection, winner of the T.S. Eliot Prize, is a book-length love-poem, and a moving act of personal testimony—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.
