Best of Cope, top form. Scary lady! Should have been made Poet Laureate - mind I have heard her say she wouldnt want the title because it costs too much to run!
If you want to try some modern poetry, try Wendy Cope - funny, insightful, touching, honest

This collection is absolutely wonderful. Those who have read her other books will know what to expect. She is frequently laugh-aloud funny, can be acute enough about men to make this male reader wince, and occasionally throws in something very touching, either warm or aching.
Wendy Cope writes with a lightness of touch that makes it look easy. While reading it one can forget that there are other things that poetry can do. She does what she does so well that I don't miss what she doesn't.

Wendy Cope always delights. Much of her work is a combination of of subtle wit and clever insights into life. This is an easy reading 'dip into' book.
