Wendy Cope has 1 past event. (show) Wendy Cope Wendy Cope discusses Two Cures for Love. £7.50. Doors open at 2:30. "Described by Nicolas Tredell as a 'jet-age Tennyson' and often lauded in the same hushed tones as Larkin and Betjeman, Wendy Cope made her mark on the literary landscape as a pitch-perfect English humourist with her sharply parodic debut Making Cocoa for Kingsley Amis (1984). Her other collections include the Whitbread-shortlisted If I Don't Know (2001) and Two Cures for Love - a sparkling new annotated miscellany spanning 1979-2006. Chosen by listeners in a BBC Radio 4 poll to succeed Ted Hughes as Poet Laureate in 1998, she is as popular with her public as she is revered by the critics."

She attended the Farrington School and read history at Oxford University. She spent 15 years as a primary school teacher in London before becoming a freelance writer and poet. Her debut collection of poems, Making Cocoa for Kingsley Amis (1986), was a wry look at contemporary relationships. Her subsequent collections, including Serious Concerns (1992) and If I Don't Know (2001), confirmed her reputation as a classic English humorist. She has also edited several poetry anthologies, including Heaven on Earth: 101 Happy Poems (2001). She has been a television critic for The Spectator magazine and a judge of the 2007 Man Booker Prize. She was made an OBE in 2010.  | |
