Reviews

A warm, well-written and unpretentious account of three good men... Highly enjoyable, accurately descriptive and very well researched... Gives a real sense of real people and their and our real and recent poetic roots. Also it's a good gossipy read. Written with verve, style and great personal insight - a poet writing about poets... Gives a real sense of real people and their and our recent roots. 'Written with verve, style and great personal insight' ... a masterclass in how to write a group biography - elegantly written taking us on an imaginative tour of the streets of Liverpool and the sounds of 1960s/1970s.
