Synopsis

More than 50 years ago, the Beatles started a revolution, transforming the face of music, youth, and popular culture. This collection of poems responds to the Beatles' music as well as to their historical influence—both in the 1960s and today. With contributions by a myriad of poets young and old—including Simon Armitage, Carol Ann Duffy, Elaine Feinstein, Peter Finch, Adrian Henry, Philip Larkin, Roddy Lumsden, Lachlan MacKinnon, Roger McGough, Sheenagh Pugh, Jeremy Reed, and Carol Rumens—this book is a tribute to the Beatles’ creativity and capacity to influence successive generations.
