Carol Ann Duffy wins PEN/Pinter prize
"Carol Ann Duffy is a great poet: in addition we were all struck by [her] propensity for being independent and sometimes awkward, to make important points through her work. She comments on contemporary events directly in a way we do not believe a poet laureate has done before," said Antonia Fraser, Pinter's widow.
And Pinter himself was a fan of Duffy's, revealed Fraser. "In a way poetry was his first love," she said. "He was a playwright, that's what he put on his passport, but poetry was his first love. And Carol Ann Duffy is a very good choice: she's so wonderfully outspoken, which is what the prize is about."
Good choice!
