joinedupwriting Summary

joinedupwriting by Roger McGough

AN EXUBERANT NEW COLLECTION FROM ONE OF BRITAIN'S BEST LOVED POETS

'The patron saint of poetry'
Carol Ann Duffy

For more than fifty years, Roger McGough has entranced generations of readers with poetry which is at once playful and poignant, intimate and ambitious in its scope.

From forgotten friendships and the idiosyncrasies of family life, to the trauma of war right through to contemporary politics, joinedupwriting explores the human experience in all its shades of light and dark, but always with McGough's signature wit and style. This is the nation's favourite poet at his very finest.

'McGough has done for poetry what champagne does for weddings' Time Out

joinedupwriting Reviews

He is a true original and more than one generation would be much the poorer without him * The Times *
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 *
McGough's trademarks: the craft worn as lightly as the crown, the jokes that are something more, the underlying heartache, the acute sense of the way time slips away * Poetry Review *
