by RogerMcGough (Author)

Synopsis

Roger McGough's new book of poems contains his own unique spin on innocence and experience: here are poems about his docker father and his new young daughter, poems about how, in his dreams, he gave the idea of "Hey Jude" to McCartney and advised Dylan to go electric, poems about jugglers and human cannonballs, poems about sad music and the sad eclipses of everyday life.
