Using a huge variety of his work, Liverpool poet
Brian Patten takes us on a hilarious, sometimes
dark, sometimes heart-rending and always
fascinating journey through a chaotic boyhood, a
love-struck adolescence and a disrespectful
middle-age, to leave us teetering on the brink of
yet another childhood.
As one of the Liverpool Poets with Adrian Henri
and Roger McGough, Brian Patten captured the
zeitgeist of the 1960s and turned poetry into
something quirky, invigorating and slightly
dangerous. Their aim was to make poetry
immediate and accessible for their audience. Their
joint anthology, The Mersey Sound (1967), has
been credited as the most significant anthology of
the twentieth century for its success in bringing
poetry to new audiences.
