Carol Ann Duffy is an exceptional poet. These poems from the POV of the wives of popular mythological men were stunning. If you don't know the myth, it'd be a bit difficult to follow the poems. Anyway, eight of them were my favourites:

I'm already a fan of her first poetry collection 'Stolen Reflections' and this book increased my love for her heartfelt poetry. These are simple and beautiful love poems that speak directly to your soul.
Some of the poems are sweet, some of them are hard-hitting, some of them are uplifting, and some of them are heartwarming. The book is divided into categories and my favourite is the Longing section, which gave me the nostalgia of my own poetry book.
I also loved Anangsha's illustrations which went along very well with the poems. I have highlighted many verses from this book so that I could go back to them. I'm looking forward to reading more of Anangsha's poetry.
If you are a poetry lover who'd love to read some pleasing poems, I highly recommend this book to you....more
