A review by 12dejamoo
The Orange and other poems by Wendy Cope

emotional reflective fast-paced

4.0

This collection swings wildly from touching poems that make you want to weep to fun little thoughts that read like off-handed witicisms. Some of these are less successful than others but most feel pretty intentional and still carry some weight.

My favourites are as follows:
Valentine
The Orange
Flowers
After the Lunch
Favourite
Magnetic
Tich Miller
Absent Friends
Little Donkey
Song
Being Boring
A Vow
