Making Cocoa for Kingsley Amis

When Making Cocoa for Kingsley Amis was first published, it catapulted its author into the bestseller lists and established her as one of our funniest and most eloquent poets.

There are so many kinds of awful men -

One can't avoid them all. She often said

She'd never make the same mistake again:

She always made a new mistake instead.

(from 'Rondeau Redoublé')
