Review:
McGough has done for poetry what champagne does for weddings (Time Out)
He is a true original and more than one generation would be much the poorer without him (The Times)
McGough's trademarks: the craft worn as lightly as the crown, the jokes that are something more, the underlying heartache, the acute sense of the way time slips away (Ian McMillan Poetry Review)
Memorable and enduring and fresh. Age has not withered [his lines] nor diminished their potency. Of how much modern poetry can you say that? (Sunday Herald)
