Carol Ann Duffy

    23 december 1955

    Deze Schotse dichteres en toneelschrijfster verkent thema's als onderdrukking, gender en geweld via toegankelijke taal. Haar werken worden erkend vanwege hun populariteit op scholen en hun benaderbaarheid. Hoewel ze talrijke onderscheidingen ontving, ligt haar literaire waarde in haar onderscheidende betrokkenheid bij hedendaagse maatschappelijke kwesties. Haar poëzie biedt een indringende kijk op de wereld om ons heen.
