"The poem is a form of texting ... it's the original
text," says Carol Ann Duffy. "It's a perfecting of a feeling in
language – it's a way of saying more with less, just as texting is. We've got
to realise that the Facebook generation is the future – and, oddly enough,
poetry is the perfect form for them. It's a kind of time capsule – it allows
feelings and ideas to travel big distances in a very condensed form."
