Poet Carol Ann Duffy

Poetry, she says, should never “be up its own arse”.

Poetry, she says, “comes out of silence. There can be days when nothing emerges from the silence.”

“I’ve loved it,” she says. “It’s been an absolute joy.”

What advice would she give to her successor? “Be yourself. Celebrate poets and poetry. And enjoy it.”
