About Roger McGough

Roger McGough is one of Britain’s best loved poets and this collection “charts [his] passage from youthful exuberance to the wry reflection of his later years. What remains the same throughout the 40 years is the poet’s winning wit, accessibility and abiding readability” — Independent

Critical Acclaim

“Time has confirmed ... that McGough’s talent was much more substantial than many of his long-forgotten detractors suspected. If he was a pop poet it was not in any ephemeral sense. A shy extrovert ... he has given voice to poetry and found a voice of his own which is humourful, introspective, irreverent, easy on the ear, conversational. It is also memorable and enduring and fresh. Age has not withered [his lines] nor diminished their potency. Of how much modern poetry can you say that?” — Sunday Herald
