The Orange and other poems by Wendy Cope

dark emotional funny inspiring lighthearted reflective relaxing fast-paced

4.25

I’ve never been too fond of modern poetry but I have to say that Wendy Cope truly proves my pre conceptions of it wrong. When her poems are not funny they are truly heartwarming or down right gut wrenching. One of my favourite is of course the collections name sake which details the simple pleasures of every day life, which is a repeated theme through out the collection and it truly provides a simpler more reflective outlook on one’s own life. A wonderful collection that I feel anyone can enjoy, poet enthusiast or not
