CONGRATULATIONS to Carol Ann Duffy who has just been made poet laureate. She held her first interview after the announcement on Woman's Hour this morning (go here to listen).
She is one of my favourite poets (thank you to S for introducing me to her work) and based on the interview with her this morning she is also a thoroughly nice person who is giving back to the poetry community by establishing a new poetry prize with the stipend she will recieve as a result of her becoming Poet Laureate.
There is a biography of Carol Ann Duffy available here along with critical information and a list of her publications etc.
You can become a fan of her on facebook by going here (I hope). I am starting to believe that everyone is on Facebook...
The picture is borrowed from the BBC website with thanks.
