Her mordant humour and formal ingenuity are in evidence,  even as she remembers the wounds of a damaging childhood; and in poems  about love and the inevitable problems of ageing she achieves an  intriguing blend of sadness and joy. Two very different sets of  commissioned poems round off a remarkable volume, whose opening poem  sounds clearly the profound note of compassion which underlies the  whole.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cope, Wendy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42465525694648,"sku":"9780571280629","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0509\/1953\/8872\/files\/9780571280629.jpg?v=1734691372","url":"https:\/\/octoberbooks.org\/products\/9780571280629","provider":"October Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
