'The patron saint of poetry' Carol Ann Duffy
'McGough is a true original and more than one generation would be much the poorer without him' The Times
_______________
Roger McGough's poetry has captured the imagination of readers for decades. In his new collection, he explores subjects light and dark, relationships old and new, and the slippery nature of time in poems alight with humour, wit and wisdom. This is the finest poetry with the lightest touch from one of Britain's best-loved poets.
