But what sets these poems apart from other treatments of the subject is Duffy's refusal to simplify the contradictions of love and read its transformations--infatuation, longing, passion, commitment, rancor, separation, and grief--as either redemptive or destructive. This is a map of real love in all its churning complexity, simultaneously direct and subtle, showing us that a song can be made of even the most painful episodes in our lives. With poems that will find deep resonance in the experience of most readers, it is a collection that can and does speak for us all.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Faber \u0026 Faber","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42826388668496,"sku":"9780865478862B","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9780865478862-l.jpg?v=1785905538","url":"https:\/\/bookoutlet.com\/products\/rapture-poems-9780865478862b","provider":"Book Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
