The Collected Poems

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 send-ups, pandemic playfulness, and brilliant new writing.

Here, then, is an unmatched store of warmth, wisdom, and feeling from Britain's most beloved poet.
