I've been slightly disappointed by this anthology of poetry. Edited by the Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy, it is published to commemorate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee with each poet being given one year from the Queen's reign to commemorate in whatever way they chose, so the subject matters range widely from the birth of a child to political events. Not my normal sort of buy given that I am opposed to the monarchy but I heard three of the poems read on the radio and liked them all. But having read the whole anthology, unfortunately only one or two of the other poems grab me in quite the same way. ( )
