A glorious selection of Wendy Cope's most beloved poems
My heart has made its mind up
And I'm afraid it's you.

'Wendy Cope's readership, numerous and adoring, is the envy of most poets. Cope's real strength lies not in charm or insight (she has buckets of both) but in the pitch perfect exactitude of her writing.' Sunday Times
