Carol Anne Duffy CBE




‘Because she’s never afraid to speak up for her gender and sexuality and does so with eloquence and clarity of poetic expression’
‘Because regardless of constantly being judged as a lesbian, she acknowledges she is a poet first!  I remember watching her perform and a young boy asked her how it is being a lesbian poet and she said a humorous reply asking how it was being ‘a nosy boy’ shamed!’
'Because i admire your work, also she fights for women's rights and is an inspiration to this 75 year old feminist' P Redmond
'Because she manages to address feminist issues through hr poetry, and disseminate it among mass culture, which is something that is extremely difficult for a woman (artist) to achieve'
