Great Regulars: To tell the truth, she [Carol Ann Duffy] gives

the impression of not being afraid of talking about anything, whether that's monsters, ghosts, quicksand or the taboo subjects which in the past have been told to stand outside the door of children's literature. CAD welcomes in forbidden words, love and sex.

There are many signs here that she is also the teacher's friend.

from Michael Rosen: The Guardian: New and Collected Poems for Children by Carol Ann Duffy
