@Debby @bookstodon Any / all of these by #WendyCope, just so absolutely terrific: (1986) Making Cocoa for Kingsley Amis
(1992) Serious Concerns
(2001) If I Don't Know
(2011) Family Values
(2018) Anecdotal Evidence. The last two, in particular. Also, #GjertrudSchnackenberg, Supernatural Love: Poems 1976-2000. So many others, but these two sprang to mind at once, though, of course, I would always recommend #LouisMacNeice, selected or collected poems, but these pre-date your requested time period.
