Collected Poems by Roger Mcgough

Here at last is the culmination of over 40 years of popular poetry. Roger McGough is one of Britain's best loved poets and in this collection of poems he brings together for the first time works from Watchwords, Summer with Monika, Sporting Relations, Everyday Eclipses, and many more. Set out thematically, these poems read as 'a prism of a life', chronicling human experience at its funniest and most poignant.
Roger McGough was born in Liverpool, the son of a docker, and attended Hull University. In the 60s he had a brief flirtation with the pop world as a member of the Scaffold. He has been one of Britain's most popular poets for over 40 years, and has written many books for children and adults. His Selected Poems, entitled Blazing Fruit, is a bestselling poetry title on the Penguin backlist. He lives in Barnes, south-west London, with his wife and two youngest children.
