A LIFE IN ART: ROGER MCGOUGH

The article devoted to the study of distinctive features of The Liverpool poets, especially Roger McGough, known for his children's poetry as well as his adult writing and performances, McGough has written or appeared in more than 50 books. His recent poem Roots now surrounds the Trafalgar Square Christmas tree, combining words, lines and images by London and Lincolnshire primary school children. He is a folk hero in his native Liverpool, where many of his poems and a work of art he created from donated old doors are part of the new Pier Head museum.
