One Wedding and a Funeral - T680884528Fresh and entertaining, Cope charms and amuses her audience with her wry, ironic poetry. At times sharp and punchy, at times soft and contemplative, she connects with her audience while carefully crafting a well-rounded and poised set. Besides irony there's plenty of life celebration too. Cope will be reading from her new collection Family Values, which contains many poems about her childhood, alongside a selection of favourites from her previous bestselling collection Two Cures for Love and prose collection Life, Love, and the Archers. With the background to each creation explained and the technical difficulties deftly touched on, her readings bring both great enjoyment and inspiration to her audiences. | |
