“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.”

“Carol Ann Duffy's poetry course is first-rate. She engages you deeply in an intimate way, as if she is speaking to you personally. She is always crystal-clear. She combines what might be called objective discussion of poetry with her own unique personal slant, and leaves you buzzing with new insights and ideas.”

“This course has been a pleasure. Carol Ann Duffy is an engaging teacher who avoids the pitfalls of 'teaching poetry' that put many people (especially GCSE students) off. The course is an ideal starting point for someone new to poetry, but is also sufficiently focussed and imaginative for people who are more familiar with poetry - both reading and writing it.”
