Generations: Roger McGough and Hollie McNish

Two greats of British poetry come together for an unmissable event discussing poetry across generations. Roger McGough first took the Book Festival by storm in the 1960s with his comedy-folk trio, the Scaffold. He returns this year with The Collected Poems: 1959-2024, joined in conversation by Ted Hughes Award-winner and author of celebrated collection Slug and its recent companion piece, Lobster, Hollie McNish.
