內容簡介
In this brilliant and original successor to her bestselling collection, "The World's Wife", Carol Ann Duffy draws on the historical, the stereotypical, the biblical and the fantastical, to create various visions - and revisions - of female identity. Exploring issues of sexuality, beauty and biology, these poems tell tall stories as though they are unconditional truths, spinning modern myths from images of woman as bodies - blood, bones and skin - and corpses, as writers and workers, shoppers and slimmers, as fairytale royals or girls next door. Whether stripping women bare or revealing them in all their (dis)guises, "Feminine Gospels" celebrates, eroticizes and eulogizes the female form and condition. 'Carol Ann Duffy presents a teasing, quick-witted take on the contemporary woman's experience, looking for the modern in the mythical, picking the fact from the fantastical, finding the truth inside the fairy-tale' - "The Times". 'A wonderful invention that needs to be read at a gallop, and which itself gallops along with a wild, rollicking energy' - "Sunday Telegraph".
