Two Cures for Love: Selected Poems 1979-2006 by Wendy Cope
This collection includes poems from three previous collections as well as poems not published before. She is best known for the humour that resides in many of her poems, and the range of humour is wide, from limerick to subtle innuendo. But her poems also display other emotions from sadness and anger to happiness and love. Her poems often have a touch of the unexpected and are approachable to the average reader. They also often touch on the experiences of women. The seventy poems in this collection show her range and include many reader favourites, such as The Orange.
I enjoyed reading these over the course of a couple of weeks, taking a few at a time and considering them.
