This stunning anthology of poems has been specially compiled with teenage girls in mind. The collection also has much to offer to and will be enjoyed by teenage boys and adults, too.
Vibrant, funny, tender, sad and moving poems from the leading women poets of our time.
Wendy Cope was born in 1945, and earned a BA from Oxford (1966) and a dipolma from the Westminster College of Education (1967). After teaching for several years at various junior schools in London, she became a freelance writer and columnist. When asked about her work, Cope asserts “I dislike the term ‘light verse’ because it is used as a way of dismissing poets who allow humour into their work… a humourous poem can also be serious; deeply felt and saying something that matters.”
