Wendy CopeHer poems are so clever and I can relate very much to some of them.
WonderfulWonderful insight to detail of emotions and extraordinary observations of everyday happenings.As fab as Dorothy Parker and Stevie Smith.
Poetry pleaseThis is the first book of poems by Wendy Cope that I have read and I very much enjoyed it. There is one in particular that stands out for me personally - 'Names' - which will resonate with anyone that has had an aged relative in hospital.
There a poems that are witty and cleverly done like 'A Policeman's Lot' and poems of love when all is rose-tinted and new and others when it goes wrong and dies and some when it is just plain wrong in the first place.
I would definitely like to read more from Wendy Cope
As always,excellent!Wendy Cope never fails to inspire. This book is excellent for just dipping into or reading straight through. She makes me laugh, sometimes cry, but is spot on. "Defining the Problem" just says it all and is a poem that, to me, has been so helpful.
A fabulous CollectionThis is a fantastic selection of Wendy's poems - some from previous anthologies and some previously unpublished ones too (both old and new). A must have for anyone who hasn't read her fabulous poetry before and a great addition for fans with insights from Wendy about each poem in a reference at the rear.
