Rapture by Carol Ann Duffy Dbe
Contains a book-length love-poem and a moving act of personal testimony that refuses to simplify the contradictions of love, and read its transformations - infatuation, longing, passion, commitment, rancour, separation and grief - as simply redemptive or destructive. This book is a map of real love, in its churning complexity.
