Valentine - Duffy

• What's the context?

  • The reality of love; it isn't perfect and has become commercialised
  • Poet laureate, writes poetry for the country
  • Passionate advocate for equality and part of LGBTQ +
• Not a red rose or satin heart
• I give you an onion
• It will blind you with tears
• It will make your reflection a wobbling photo of grief
• Cling to your knife
