An early collection from the Poet Laureate, published for the first time by Picador
As with her later collections, The Other Country takes its readers on a journey that is both familiar yet surreal.
Escorting us to the other country - that is, those places that we otherwise visit only in our memories or our minds - it blurs the lines between fantasy and reality, and as such, can be both playful and provocative. It is also, however, deeply intelligent, honest and thoughtful, with a deftness of tone and touch, and an emotional yet unsentimental openness that makes this one of Carol Ann Duffy's most vivid and remarkable collections to date.
