A trio of Britain’s most respected poets – Adrian Henri, Roger McGough and Brian Pattern – wax  lyrical about their anthology The Mersey Sound and the city that inspired it.

Influenced by 1950s Beat Poetry movement, the writers were loved for their simplicity of language and contemporary themes, and the work become the best-selling poetry anthology of all time.
