I Wouldn't Thank You for a Valentine: Anthology of Women's Poetry

Carol Ann Duffy
(Viking Children's Books)
978-0670836598, RRP £6.99, Paperback
14+ Secondary/Adult
Buy "I Wouldn't Thank You for a Valentine" on Amazon

Poems about various stages and roles in women's lives, with line-drawings and an eye-catching cover design by Trisha Rafferty. This is a multi-cultural contemporary mix, offering poems by familiar writers such as Phoebe Hesketh, Maya Angelou, Alice Walker and Fleur Adcock, as well as new names. An attractive book for classroom use or for teenagers to read alone though, as with most such collections, it contains rather too much unremarkable free verse.
