	Wendy Cope's use of parody in Making Cocoa for Kingsley Amis
		Cope is a British poet who became a best-selling poetic parodist in the late eighties —the period from which this article by Jameson dates.
		Cope seems to be criticizing courtly-love poetry written from a man's perspective, which she presents as unrealistic.
		As Cope has explained in interviews (Dickson 1992: 47), the appositely named Mr Couch is her psychiatrist —a masculine figure with patriarchal connotations, since he plays the symbolic role of father, priest and judge.

	Amazon.co.uk: If I Don't Know: Books: Wendy Cope (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		Wendy Cope is one of the few modern British poets to regularly enter the bestsellers list and, with her book of verses If I Don't Know, it is easy to see why.
		Wendy Cope is an eminently readable, intelligent and always sympathetic poet and this is another fine collection of her work.
		Wendy Cope burst onto the poetry scene with 'Making Cocoa for Kingsley Amis' - a collection of 'humorous' poems which saw her work considered 'lightweight' (a theme touched on in "A poem on the theme of humour").

	Wendy Cope
		Wendy Cope is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and lives in Winchester, England.
		Wendy Cope is a classic English humorist, updated to take account of changing times, but in her deflationary humour, bathos, and rueful wisdom she is absolutely the classic article.
		Wendy Cope's second book was called Serious Concerns (1992), and the title highlights the fact that some of her work has always been meditative and serious rather than funny.

		As well as running training programs for those wanting to understand autism better, Wendy is a poet and a writer who possesses a real passion for words.

	The Christmas Life by Wendy Cope - Poetry Archive
		Cope's rueful wisdom connects her to the tradition of Betjeman and Larkin, but she brings a fresh female perspective to bear on social and literary foibles.
		She has said of her parodies that they were a way "of coming to terms with what was fashionable in poetry" and in their unerring accuracy and mastery of form she showed she could match any of her male contemporaries.
		Cope keeps her explanations droll and to the point, wisely allowing the poems their own voice.

	Amazon.com: Serious Concerns: Books: Wendy Cope (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		Wendy Cope doesn't deal with the Big Topics (homosexuality and alienation, rape, genocide or insanity) that dreary Americans like Adrienne Rich, Robert Lowell or Sylvia Plath did.
		Wendy Cope is hilariously sarcastic and incredibly cynical, with an uncanny accuracy in the workings of the human brain.
		We were lucky to have Wendy Cope read at our University, and her voice is similar to her comic poetry - deadpan, laconic and wry.

	River Girl, The - Wendy Cope - Printed Books Shopping at dooyoo.co.uk
		Wendy Cope burst onto the poetic scene in the 1980s with Making Cocoa for Kingsley Amis, which although being from Faber and Faber, was a good poetry collection - with wit, humour and style, and not all this pompous verbal diarrhoea they keep flogging to us.
		I was introduced to this at uni in a basic get-them-to-actually-look-at-poetry way, having been put off much modern verse beforehand with Eliot and DH Lawrence, like many.
		It turns out to have been a handy commission for Cope, as she hardly published anything for many years after Cocoa, and yet to come were the heady days of the later '90s, when she had finally more collections of her own, and a host of editing comic verse...

	[minstrels] Waste Land Limericks -- Wendy Cope
		Reams of critical analysis are all very well, but sometimes I think the best thing to have come out of "The Waste Land" is Wendy Cope's inspired summary of the poem.
		Her stripped down version of Eliot's rather impenetrable masterpiece is (as we've come to expect from Cope) excruciatingly funny, but it's also amazingly faithful to the original - she seems to capture the essence of each (long and complex) section in just a few short lines.
		My enjoyment of Cope's limericks was enhanced immeasurably by my reading of these two scholarly articles (and others; John Wain's Waste Land Casebook is a good compendium, if you really want to go into depth).

		Quoting extensively from the dust-jacket: ""Making Cocoa for Kingsley Amis", Wendy Cope's first book, was an immediate bestseller, delighting readers with its unconventional mixture of satire, candid love poetry, and parody.
		It includes examples of work by Jason Strugnell, the haplessly influenceable bard of Tulse Hill, as well as poems in Wendy Cope's own voice...
