Mean Time

Carol Ann Duffy

Mean Time is a poetry collection that moves through time, family, and loss. Its restrained voice lets image and repetition build emotional pressure.

Work Information

A compact poetry collection shaped by time and family.

Mean Time returns repeatedly to time, family, and loss, building a collection from exact images and low-key tension. The result is controlled on the surface but lingering in its aftereffects.

Reviews

  • The poetry in this book recalls themes of a Briton I knew growing up in the seventies and eighties. It is an honest collection that tackles difficult subjects that needed to be addressed then as they still do now. I was very moved by hearing the poet read her work on the audible book. As somebody who has dyslexia, I can't begin to tell you how important it is for poetry to be made more accessible.

  • Nice and easy transaction

  • Brilliant collection of Duffy poems - one of the best collections I have read. Would recommend this to people who enjoy more contemporary poetry,

  • A bit TOO used!

  • A good collection. Easy to read and you can dip in and out. I bought this as somewhat of a poetry novice and didn't feel out of my depth.
