DescriptionIn this new book of poetry, acclaimed poet Roger McGough builds us a world of chance encounters and embarassing moments, of big questions and small wonders. Finding himself at 'that awkward age between birth and death', he wrestles with mortality; he resolves (and fails) to live every day as if it were his last; joins the Foreign Legion; jives in Macca's trousres; shares the pain of Mr Sappho and Lord Godiva and plans a prison break. With his inimitable warmth, wit and wordplay, McGough affirms his position as the pre-eminent poet of the magic moment - the happy collision of life, language and the imagination.
