    • She is also a successful playwright - Take My Husband, Cavern of Dreams, Little Women, Big
    Boys, Loss, and Casanova
    • She has written for children as well.
    • Her poetry strongly reflects her interest in gender and subaltern issues and she is considered one
    of the most powerful feminist poets.

    The New York Times describes it, “a deceptively simple style to produce accessible, often
    mischievous poems dealing with the darkest turmoil and the lightest minutiae of everyday
    life.”
    Journalist Katharine Viner notes that while Duffy is praised for “her touching, sensitive,
    witty evocations of love, loss, dislocation, nostalgia; fans talk of greeting her at readings
    ‘with claps and cheers that would not sound out of place at a pop concert.'”
