The Collected Poems Summary

The Collected Poems: 1959 2024 by Roger McGough

The collected works of 'the patron saint of poetry', Roger McGough For sixty years, Roger McGough has thrilled and delighted generations of readers with his irreverent, intimate and ever-original poetry. The Collected Poems presents the definitive selection of his very best work, from the Mersey-soaked sound of his quintessential Sixties start, through to tender meditations on fatherhood and family, and on to political sendups, pandemic playfulness and brilliant new writing. Here, then, is an unmatched store of warmth, wisdom and feeling from Britain's most beloved poet.

The Collected Poems Reviews

McGough is a true original and more than one generation would be much the poorer without him * The Times *
McGough has done for poetry what champagne does for weddings * Time Out *
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 *
The patron saint of poetry -- Carol Ann Duffy
