“The Patron Saint of Poetry” - Carol Ann Duffy A new book of poems by Roger McGough is always an event, and As Far As I Know is truly a cause for celebration. Hilarious and surreal, McGough is a poet of many voices: menace and melancholy there may be, but with plenty of his characteristic wit and wordplay. Newly elected President of the Poetry Society, Roger McGough has been honoured with a CBE for services to literature, and the Freedom of the City of Liverpool for good behaviour. From Scaffold’s Lily The Pink and The Mersey Sound with Adrian Henri & Brian Patten to Radio 4’s long-running Poetry Please - the beat goes on. Copies of As Far as I Know will be on sale, and Roger McGough will be happy to sign copies afterwards. For ages 13+ "Rueful, unpredictable observation to please the sharpest wits" - The Independent "Profound surprises and lasting images on almost every line" - Siân Hughes T.E.S "He is a true original and more than one generation would be much the poorer without him" - The Times www.uppthearts.co.uk |
