‘Carol Ann Duffy is the most humane and accessible poet of our time’ - Guardian
Carol Ann Duffy brings together an anthology of one hundred modern and classic poems which capture moments of revelation, empathy or difference with the non-human and, in doing so, prompt us to rethink our place in the world.
Vita Sackville-West encounters a frog by torchlight and Norman MacCaig, famously, addresses a toad. Simon Armitage kicks and demolishes a mushroom while Charlotte Mew mourns the cutting-down of elms in her London Street. Keats is transported by the nightingale and Edward Thomas by nettles. Les Murray eulogises his runner-beans and Liz Lochhead tells us what the pool said on midsummer’s day.
With poems from Shakespeare to Bishop and Heaney, Chaucer to Hopkins, out-of-copyright poems, to poems from diverse cultures, Green Epiphanies will be a glorious new anthology for everyone who loves the world and the life it sustains.
Carol Ann Duffy lives in Manchester, where she is Professor and Creative Director of the Writing School at Manchester Metropolitan University. Her poetry has received many awards, including the Signal Prize for Children's Verse, the Whitbread, Forward and T. S. Eliot Prizes, and the Lannan and E. M. Forster Prize in America. She was Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom from 2009 to 2019. Her many collections include Mean Time, Love Poems and The Bees, which won the Costa Poetry Award. Her writing for children includes Queen Munch and Queen Nibble, The Skipping-Rope Snake and The Tear Thief. She was made a DBE in the 2015 New Year Honours list. In 2021, she was awarded the international lifetime achievement award the Golden Wreath for her achievements in poetry.
