I like Duffy's presentation style, she seems very genuine. The lessons are in nice bite sizes, so I do one or two every day or two, plus some writing as suggested.

I love the variety of what Ms Duffy is offering to us in both her explanations and examples of readings. I have been putting a number of her suggestions into practice; at this point I'm not sure that is translating into actual poems written just yet but it has expanded my view of where to find inspiration and that is proving to be invaluable. I have more to listen to as I have not been able to listen at the pace I wanted but I know I am growing. Ms Duffy has an amazing command of the English language and therefore a wealth of words to draw up to express her thoughts and feelings. I'm so enjoying this course.

Guidance about what to read and what to notice. And encouragement to just get something down, even if you’re not sure about it - just get started.

I love Carol Ann Duffy's approach to poetry, and her references to her background. She provides a wide range of other poets' work, and she offers an insightful analysis of what they have done in their poems. I'm inspired by her inputs and, after each session, i try to jot down a couple of ideas for my own work as a result of her words. Finally, i like the length of each session, some longer and some shorter, which is a lovely variety of spaces from the everyday worlds.

Carol Ann Duffy is very down-to-earth (with a dry sense of humor) and makes the subject matter interesting, engaging and approachable. I LOVE this course and it has given me inspiration to continue my poetry practice with renewed passion.
