Resumen

Carol Ann Duffy hereda y transforma numerosos códigos y convenciones de la poesía amatoria canónica; desde su lugar como una renombrada poeta contemporánea que se interesa por dar voz a los sujetos marginales y disidentes y en transformar la poesía desde adentro, Duffy ha explorado la conexión entre la ornamentación de los cuerpos femeninos y las políticas del mirar. Este artículo propone interpretar las perlas, las gemas, la joyería y el oro en tres poemas de diferentes etapas de la trayectoria de Duffy como parte de una labor de revisión y crítica hacia la poesía amatoria canónica. A partir de investigaciones feministas sobre el soneto amatorio, el Petrarquismo y el blazon, analizo cómo Duffy representa los adornos, y la moda en un sentido más amplio, como "una parte liberadora y represiva de nuestras vidas" (2004: xi).
