Armour was Poetry Book Society Pamphlet Choice for Autumn 2011, and a winner in the 2010 smith/doorstop Book and Pamphlet Competition.
‘Unsettling and edgy, these poems have the strangeness of myth and the zany logic of nursery rhymes, but for adult ears. A real zest for language and startling imagery.’
Simon Armitage
‘Christy Ducker’s poems are intriguing, skilful and musically alert. With a light touch she performs the difficult feat of writing convincingly and unsentimentally about happiness. After this collection so rich in pleasures, we should be hearing more of Christy Ducker.’
