“Carol Ann Duffy is a treasure to listen to and her love of poetry comes through and is inspirational. I do enjoy listening to these but honestly am slightly dissapointed. If this had been sold as 'inspirational chat from Carol Ann Duffy' then yes, I'd recommend and give it 5 stars, but as a poetry course so far (I'm about half way through) it fails. I'm hearing all her ideas on where to draw inspiration from, but I've still no idea how to turn my inspired scribblings into poems. I realise CAD tends toward free verse, but even here, I hope I will get to find out how to craft a poem out of my scribblings before I get to the end of the course. That said, she's a fantastic poet and I do love listening to her and the poems she reads out.”

“Can’t praise this course enough.
Playing and replying each module as their is so much to digest but accessible easy language.
So much so you feels Carol Ann Duffy has become a friend.”

“Very enjoyable and interesting and Carol Ann Duffy is fantastic. However it's more like a long interview - there is not very much here that will help you to write or understand poetry.”

“Let's just say I'm not a poet. I rarely understand poems on anything other than a basic level. I enjoyed this course because of the way Carol Ann Duffy explained her poetry, showing examples of why she said what she did in the way she said it. I read the poems she suggested and I've started a poetry notebook. Sent my first poem off in a greeting card and shared another with my writing group.”

“The way this course is set out is innovative and inspiring. I have already been reading and writing more poetry. Thank you. I'm so glad I chose to do it. I am half way through and excited about what is to come.”
