In this gloriously exuberant anthology, Wendy Cope sets out to
prove that misery doesn't have all the best lines. Here is a
collection of poems which are unashamedly happy: poems about love,
places, the beauty of the natural world, about company and
solitude, music, food and drink, books, and the unadulterated
pleasure of taking a shower. Among the more surprising items are
the Chinese Po Chu-I on the advantages of baldness, the
eighteenth-century John Dyer on the kindly behaviour of his ox, and
an unusually cheerful Thomas Hardy enjoying the sight of seven
women laughing as they stagger, arm in arm, down an icy hill.
Catullus, Chaucer, Clare, Dickinson, Betjeman and Larkin are among
the contributors who help to demonstrate that people who believe
that 'happiness writes white' have got it wrong.
