Serious Concerns
Serious Concerns | Wendy Cope
11 posts | 4 read | 6 to read
Wendy Cope's first book of poems and parodies, Making Cocoa for Kingsley Amis, went straight into the bestseller lists. Its successor, Serious Concerns has proved even more popular, addressing such topics as 'Bloody Men', 'Men and Their Boring Arguments', 'Two Cures for Love', 'Kindness to Animals' and 'Tumps' (Typically Useless Male Poets).

Amazingly for me, I've started my Christmas shopping before December! 🎁
The lamp is a gift for our daughter's partner, the books are (for no special reason) for me 😁
• Serious Concerns by Wendy Cope: amusing poetry about relationships (it appears from a quick browse) 💔
• The Best of Archy and Mehitabel by Don Marquis: more amusing poetry, written by a cockroach 🪳
• Gossip from the Forest by Sara Maitland: nature writing and folklore 🌳🧚🏻‍♀️

LeahBergen I always buy myself books when I‘m Christmas shopping for others, too 😆 13h
Bookwomble @LeahBergen It's a harmless by-product of shopping! 📚😌 13h

I was going to go hang out with friends tonight, but then the thought of staying in and cozying up with some books and a blanket was too appealing. The only struggle is choosing which books to read! I'm starting off with this poetry collection recommended by one of my favorite booktubers. 📚

I love this little ode to how simple things can bring us such pleasure. I feel we need to find such pleasure as much as we can right now.

TheSpineView We forget about the simple things sometimes. Thanks for the reminder! 🧡 5y
