Wendy Cope: Serious concerns (1992, Faber and Faber) 3 stars

Review of 'Serious concerns' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Seriously funny, and yet... I struggle to find this collection of poems amazing, with all due respect. There’s quality in spades here, don’t get me wrong, but after a while I found the whole of it to be a bit tepid, or at least my attitude towards it. I don’t know, maybe I’m looking for different things in poetry.
