Well, it's great to see a woman get the role, after so long. Also, I had so idea Duffy was openly gay, so a lot of barriers are being broken with this appointment. I use to have two of her collections years ago, but I lent them to someone and never got them back.
She is one of the most widely read poets in Britain today, and hopefully her new role will get more poeple interested in poetry.
There was an interesting interview with Benjamin Zephaniah in the Times on Saturday, wher ehe derided the role of Poet Laureate and said that most people see him as the people's poet, so why bother having the post anyway. A little egostistical, I though.

Is it just me or does anyone else find Scroobius Pip to be really bland and a bit gimmicky?
