About this listen

In her prize-winning fourth collection, Mean Time, Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy dramatizes scenes from childhood, adolescence and adulthood, finding moments of grace or consolation in memory, love and language amid the complexities of life.

These are powerful poems of loss, betrayal and desire.

Great poems. Not so great delivery.
