A highly original collection from the much-loved and prestigious poet, Roger McGough.

If Philosophy is the Why?

And Science is the How?

Then Poetry is the Wow!

In this stunning, brand-new volume, you'll discover poems about poems, poems about life, poems about kangaroos and chameleons and caterpillars (though not in the same verse) and many more. This touching and thought-provoking collection will make you laugh, cry, or simply say 'Wow!'
