Roger McGough is the author of over a hundred books of poetry for adults and children. Safety in Numbers is his latest collection. Traversing rocky terrain with the assurance of a poetry Rover on Mars, McGough brings down to earth the strangeness of a time on hold. Staycations, adultery in lockdown, ghosts and gamblers, as well as playful advice to up-and-coming poets. (Don't do it!) With the gift of many tongues, playful, surreal and tender, McGough ‘a trickster you can trust’ reveals the telling moments of our lives.
The long established Downland Poets are delighted to once again share a selection of original poetry and some old favourites with anyone who loves the written word.
Meet up in the lovely surroundings of B12 for a relaxing afternoon when some of the winners and participants in the creative writing competitions can read their masterpieces for your enjoyment.
