Orange and Other Poems by Wendy Cope (Faber, 2025)
Poetry
Wendy Cope: Orange and Other Poems (ISBN: 9780571389513, hardback, Faber, 2024). Wonderfully down to earth, it has poems about oranges and flowers, and bananas and wine, all of which made me smile and nod my head in recognition. Perhaps most appropriate for this month would be to share the opening lines from Valentine: My heart has made its mind up And I’m afraid it’s you.
