A poetry collection that focuses on the key experiences of life, like grief and passion, and the preservation of self in the face of it

A vivid collection of poems, containing verse on love, relationships, life and attitude

A collection of poems, heartfelt and honest, written by a man caring for his elderly parents, one of whom, his father, has dementia

A book detailing an era of the author’s life spent living in the Swiss Alps but also one full of meaning and philosophy, based on experience

A small collection of poems, accessible and direct which are thoughtful and full of philosophical musings and wisdom gathered

A diverse collection of poems and pictures from multicultural poets with shared themes such as memory, food, family and faith

A surprisingly good novel in verse about the life of a portrait painter, brimming with sensuality & its evocation of attitudes of the time

Wendy Cope’s style of poetry is simple in terms of its accessibility but still has depth of humour and meaning
