In Feminine Gospels, Carol Ann Duffy draws on women's experience - both personal and historical - to entertain and challenge through poems which celebrate, elegise and eroticise the female condition. With an architecture of longer poems on beauty, identity and the physical, Feminine Gospels tells tall stories as though they were gospel truth and, in so doing, provides a wildly original successor to Duffy's previous best-selling collections, Mean Time and The World's Wife.

Praise for Carol Ann Duffy:
