She has only published two books, and there is probably just enough material
in the two to make one book of enjoyable and stylish light verse. I do think
there's a place for that kind of writing - we can't all be postmodern
philosopher-linguists - and it's no surprise that she's so popular. Most
people don't like to work hard when they read. Sophie Hannah seems to me a
better poet, more prolific, more inventive and with more to say.
Best wishes
