The new Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy poses for photographers in the John Rylands Library, in Manchester, north-west England, on May 1, 2009. Britain named its first female — and openly gay — poet laureate on Friday, to follow in the footsteps of renowned bards such as William Wordsworth and Alfred Lord Tennyson. Carol Ann Duffy, 53, whose works are both popular and critically acclaimed, will produce poems for state occasions after being confirmed to the prestigious, 341-year-old post. AFP PHOTO/ANDREW YATES
