dc.description	This book, therefore, aims to record the full range of verdicts on Duffy’s achievements, to consolidate current readings, and to fi nd traits that run across her entire oeuvre. Primarily, it defi nes what ‘Duffyesque’ means as an evaluative benchmark for other poets, just as Duffy is frequently compared to Philip Larkin, Seamus Heaney, or Tony Harrison. The subtitle, ‘Poet for Our Times’, is taken from the title to a poem discussed later that dramatizes the crossover and distance between poetry and journalism. The phrase fl ags the relevance of Duffy’s poetry to the period in which she writes but does not mean the relevance is only to her lifetime. Duffy uniquely draws on the languages of both her contemporary culture and her literary heritages to probe what it means to be human, both in and beyond a specifi c time and place	-
