Roger McGough - As Far As I Know
"The patron saint of poetry| Carol Ann Duffy
Recycling
I care about the environment
And try to do what is right
So I cycle to work every morning
And recycle home every night
From It Never Rains Penguin 2014
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, he is a poet of many voices. Menace and melancholy there may be, but with plenty of McGough's characteristic wit and wordplay too. Also featuring It Never Rains, a collection of new comical verses and drawings by the author.
Roger McGough, President of the Poetry Society, has been honoured with a CBE for services to literature and the Freedom of the City of Liverpool. Lily The Pink, the Aintree Iron, Scaffold, GRIMMS, The Mersey Sound with Adrian Henri & Brian Patten, presenter of the long-running Poetry Please whose acclaimed Molière adaptations travel far & wide with English Touring Theatre. The beat goes on.
For adults & 14+. Followed by booksigning
