Newspaper Taxis Poetry After the Beatles

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.
