The more I read CAROL ANN DUFFY the less happy I am with her. I don’t know what to think of her. She is driving me nuts.<\/p>\n
I don’t think Carol Ann Duffy and I would get along if we met in person. I believe in romance, I believe in love, and I believe that people can change. But the more I read and reread her poems I don’t think she does. I feel like she doesn’t believe in happiness in a relationship, she doesn’t believe that a male could have redeeming characteristics, and she does not believe in happy endings. Of course life will always have its trials, but just because a guy is mean once doesn’t mean you have to go write a whole book about how eternally damned his whole kind is. And I doubt she has been the perfect partner her whole life. She is an artist. They are dramatic. At first I thought she was writing about so many different\u00a0 relationships to shows a compare and contrast, but in reality I think she is blind to anything other than her opinion. And it shows in her writing.<\/p>\n
I learned in my law class recently that to truly understand any issue, you must understand both sides. While her poems are witty and clever, it is just one side of a story. There is more to a relationship than men being greedy pigs and success driven sex addicts.<\/p>\n
I just want Carol Ann to believe in the world, to have a desire to prompt change. She had so much power and influence with the release of her two books and she chose to make women the victim.<\/p>\n
