Guardian.UK: Carol Ann Duffy is ‘wrong’ about poetry, says Geoffrey Hill.

“What Professor Duffy desires to do I believe – and if so it is a most laudable ambition – is to humanise the linguistic semantic detritus of our particular phase of oligarchical consumerism. And for the common good she is willing to have quoted by the Guardian interviewer several lines from a poem by herself that could easily be mistaken for a first effort by one of the young people she wishes to encourage.” Ouch. One has to admire an eloquent takedown.
