"Oh, this is good. I am very taken with her half-fay, half-realism style. Favourites: Beautiful, The Woman who Shopped, Anon, The Virgin's Memo, A Dreaming Week, Death and the Moon. They are all brilliant, truth be told, excepting The Laughter of Stafford Girls' High. That one's genius."
"Her use of language isn't always painful, but her themes consistently stink. More than half the poems involve fantasies in which a little chick fantastically becomes a grand, huge, important woman. Such idle illusions endanger actual growth."
"This collection doesn't contain any of my favourite poems, but it's good nonetheless. I like the first poem, "The Long Queen", and one of the later ones, "The Light Gatherer". I always love Duffy's use of imagery. I like the way she themes her poetry collections -- this one is all about women, Rapture was all about love, The World's Wife is all about the women who married/lived with famous men..."
