From a motorway service area to her
ambivalent relationship with religion,Wendy Cope covers a wide range of experience in her new collection of verse.Her mordant humour and formal ingenuity are in evidence,even as she remembers the wounds of a damaging childhood; and in poems about love and the inevitable problems of ageing she achieves an intriguing blend of sadness and joy.Two very different sets of commissioned poems round off a remarkable volume,whose opening poem sounds clearly the profound note of compassion which underlies the whole.
An English poetess,born in Erith,Kent.This is her 3rd anthology; following on from her debut - 'Making Cocoa for Kingsley Amis',1986.In 1987 she received a Cholmondeley Award for poetry .'Two Cures for Love: Selected Poems 1979-2006 was published in 2008.
