Description for Family Values Paperback. From a motorway service area to the author's ambivalent relationship with religion, this title covers a range of her experiences. Num Pages: 80 pages. BIC Classification: DCF. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 198 x 131 x 6. Weight in Grams: 72.
From a motorway service area to her ambivalent relationship with religion, Wendy Cope covers a wide range of experience in her new collection. 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.
