The Mersey Sound published in 1967 in the Penguin Modern Poets series is one of the best-selling poetry anthologies of all time having sold more than half a million copies. The names Adrian Henri, Roger McGough and Brian Patten are still defined as the Liverpool Poets. This course uses The Mersey Sound as a springboard to consider the legacy of this iconic book. We will look at the work of Liverpool poets, including Felicia Hemans, A S J Tessimond, Peter Reading, Matt Simpson, Deryn Rees-Jones, and Paul Farley as well as Henri, Patten and McGough. We will explore together whether Liverpool’s uniqueness as a city has produced a unique poetry.
