Carol Ann Duffy was born in Glasgow and grew up in England.
At the age of 14 she decided that she would be a poet; her poems have since
received many honours. Her poetry collections, which include Mean Time,
The World's Wife, Feminine Gospels and Penguin Selected
Poems, have received such prizes as the Whitbread Award, the Forward Prize
and the Somerset Maugham Award. She has also written several books of poetry
for children.
Carol Ann Duffy's travel is generously provided by The Betty and Ralph Gustafson
Chair of Poetry at Malaspina University-College.
