Two Cures for Love
Wendy Cope
1. Don’t see him. Don’t phone or write a letter.
2. The easy way: get to know him better.
This is from Serious Concerns (1992) by Wendy Cope, published by Faber and
Faber.
“In the Los Angeles Review of Books, critic and poet A.M. Juster declared,
“One has to go back to Byron to find a poet as consistently witty,
wide-ranging, and technically outstanding as Cope.”

I’m a simple woman who dares to see the beauty in ordinary. I’d love to connect with you and like pen pals, I want something beautiful to blossom between us. Will you join me? Selma is my middle name. Its meaning—peaceful, complete, are euphoric affirmations I like to think of myself as having. They compliment the joy I feel when I write. I sincerely hope you decide to join me on my writing journey. I Wish You Miracles.
