<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><i>Sincerity </i>is Duffy's final collection of poems as UK Poet Laureate, and the much-anticipated successor to the Costa Award-winning <i>The Bees</i>. Time and its passage are at the heart of this reflective work, which gazes out from the autumn of life. There are moving elegies here for what has departed; whether that be children who have flown the nest, a way of life, literary luminaries, past loves, lost parents or our own youth. This collection finds a poet at the height of her powers using her full poetic range, casting her eye both inwards, in poems of a deeply personal nature, and yet also outwards, taking stock of a world in turmoil. In some of her most radical work yet, we see Duffy satirise and unpick the deception and dishonesty at the heart of the current political situation. A rallying cry builds steadily through the book culminating in a moving closing ode to the virtue of sincerity. This collection, at once intimate and public, is a work of great power from one of our most cherished and humane poets.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Carol Ann Duffy </b>has been Britain's Poet Laureate since 2009.
