Shaping Absence: Carol Ann Duffy's 'Rapture'

An essay on Carol Ann Duffy's poetry book Rapture (2005) and the current state of lyrical poetry, in particular British poetry, in the age of sms and electronic text. I present a critique to the recurrence of using the metaphor of ‘heart’ as being the center of human emotion, which I consider an impossible image to carry on in the era of brain research and technological human beings.
