Enjoyed listening to this. I have ordered the physical copy of it so I can read through again.

Not really my cup of tea (as another reviewer stated it is "super British") but I gave it three stars for "Scheherazade" and the conversation this collection engendered between a coworker and myself regarding the proliferation of apian imagery in the works of female poets.

This is an absolutely excellent collection. I particularly loved the poems focusing on grief or on motherhood. Duffy is an absolute literary genius and I cannot wrap my head around the insane genius of her word choice, rhyme, and rhythm. This is the second work of hers that I've read and I can't wait to get my hands on more.
