Defying Gravity

Résumé : From the moving elegy 'Defying Gravity' to the entertainingly surreal 'Your Favourite Hat' in this collection of poetry, Roger McGough comes to terms with painful personal memories as well as confronting fears that are universal. Whether he is observing the eccentricities of contemporary life or the oddities of human feeling, his verses sparkle with verbal dexterity, irreverent wit, irony and heartfelt compassion.
