eleana's review against another edition

Imagery is absolutely beautiful. Some of it admittedly goes over my head but I loved how graphic the wording is. My favourites were I Live Here Now, Homesick, Mouth, With Soap and Three Paintings

While I enjoyed this I think it's a collection that has to be read a few times to fully understand it. In light of this, my rating might go up after I've read it again.

Ordinarily I love Duffy's work, but Selling Manhattan just didn't grab me. It is her second collection, and one can see that her voice, which later becomes so original and startling, is beginning to emerge. There simply wasn't the level of engagement here which I am so used to in Duffy's work. There is much playing around with the form, but it feels more of an experimental collection than one of her best.
