And now for some good news, Carol Ann Duffy is the poet laureate. She's the first woman in this post. I don't particularly care for the post as royal instituted and she had similar reservations (not helped along by Tony Blair's homophobic comments I feel) but at least this is further evidence that men and women can be appointed to the same positions and also an indication of her talent as a writer.

So what do people think? Is it good that she's poet laureate, only good from the feminist side of things, do you wish it were somebody else or do you perhaps not like the post?
