Duffy

Kathryn Williams, the Mercury-nominated, folk-inspired singer-songwriter, has teamed up with poet and playwright Carol Ann Duffy this Christmas, adding to her impressive list of previous collaborations. The festive "Midnight Chorus" begins with soft strings and delicate keys that land like the first snowflakes of winter, gradually building and growing into a grandiose pop ballad.

Nel 2023 Carol Ann Duffy ha pubblicato quattro volumi antologici dedicati ai temi più importanti nella sua poesia: Love, Elegies, Nature, Politics. I testi raccolti in Elegies, composti in più di quarant’anni e ordinati cronologicamente, rendono omaggio a persone care non più in vita e a luoghi e avvenimenti di un tempo perduto. Nel cupo dolore di chi resta, ciò che è irrimediabilmente finito rivive in immagini nitide, provenienti dai ricordi o da altre, misteriose dimensioni, ma è subito pronto a svanire. Non ci sono facili consolazioni, infatti, e Carol Ann Duffy riconosce che chi ha amato è “irraggiungibile”, “inaccessibile/ alla vista, nonostante le anime siano stelle”, e nella notte scura, “immensa, muta” la lontananza non è colmabile e il freddo della morte è assoluto..

"Beneath the Blonde, Duffy’s third novel… confirms without doubt that she’s very near the top of the new generation of modern crime writers."—The Times
When Saz Martin is hired to protect Siobhan Forrester, the sexy lead singer of Beneath the Blonde, an easy assignment turns into a murderous one. And, to further complicate things, Saz isn’t so sure she wants to keep her relationship with Siobhan strictly business.
Stella Duffy lives in London. Her other Saz Martin crime novels include Calendar Girl, Wave Walker, and Fresh Flesh, all published by Serpent’s Tail.
