Her artful combination of insight and wit made an extraordinary impact in poems that cocked a gentle snook at the pomposity of a literary world hitherto dominated by men.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrough four further collections, Cope has continued to delight her readers while finding a whole new generation of enthusiasts through her poem \"The Orange\". Together these poems catalogue the desires and fears that underlie our ordinary existences - love and heartbreak, disappointment and a hard-won capacity to find happiness, even if only in the form of a poem. In their profound attention to and encapsulation of the everyday, these poems serve to make our own lives the more remarkable and memorable. \u003ci\u003eCollected Poems \u003c\/i\u003ecelebrates a lifetime's achievement by a poet who has been original and distinctive from the very start, and provides the perfect accompaniment to the trials, tribulations and joys of our all too human lives.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 512\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.7 x 9.5 x 6.3 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 05, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47354043236601,"sku":"9780571383252","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/tccDVnH19z9780571383252_95a4bb14-a6fe-4765-bf43-72b6dc53a08f.webp?v=1769829028","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/collected-poems-hardcover-17","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
