Out of fashion : an anthology of poems

In Out of Fashion Carol Ann Duffy selects the best and freshest contemporary poets and asks them in turn to select their favourite poem, from another time or culture, which looks at how we dress, or undress, how we cover up or reveal.

In these vibrant poems, we are shown how clothes, fashion and jewelry are both a necessity and a luxury.

The result is a vital and entertaining dialogue between the two arts of poetry and fashion and between poets from the past and the present.
