Wendy Cope’s poems catalogue the desires and fears that underlie our ordinary existences – love and heartbreak, disappointment and a hard-won capacity to find happiness, even if only in the form of a poem.
In their profound attention to and encapsulation of the everyday, these poems serve to make our own lives the more remarkable and memorable. Collected Poems celebrates a lifetime’s achievement by a poet who has been original and distinctive from the very start and provides the perfect accompaniment to the trials, tribulations and joys of our all too human lives.
