'She deserves to outsell most of the novelists on your shelf' ObserverSincerity is Duffy's final collection of poems as Poet Laureate, and the much-anticipated successor to the Costa Award-winning The Bees. 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, literary luminaries, past loves, lost parents or our own youth. This collection finds her casting her eye both inwards, in poems of a deeply personal nature, and yet also outwards, taking stock of a world in turmoil. A rallying cry builds steadily through the book culminating in a moving closing ode to the virtue of sincerity.A fitting culmination to her time as a Poet Laureate, Sincerity is a work of great power from one of our most cherished and humane poets.'Wonderful . . . a poet alert to every sound and shape of language' Sunday Telegraph'Duffy is magnificent, grounded, heartfelt, dedicated to the notion that poetry can give us the music of life itself' Scotsman
