In 1967 Penguin Books published the work of Brian Patten, along with co-poets Roger McGough and Adrian Henri, in the collection The Mersey Sound, frequently credited as the single most significant anthology of this century in bringing poetry to new audiences. Some half a million copies have been sold, and thousands of poetry fans have flocked to theatres, arts centres and schools to watch Patten in performance. This is the first full-length critical evaluation of Patten's work - as a poet, as a performer and as a hugely popular children's writer. It seeks to explore his position in relation to his fellow "Liverpool Poets" and to contemporary poetry more widely. Consideration of Armada, Patten's most recent poetry collection for adults, is central to this study. The author explores the ways in which themes and pre-occupations from earlier works have now sharpened and developed, and argues that Armada signals the maturation of his talent.

Macie just about has it all: her own salon, a personal cosmetics line, and a decently hot boyfriend who mooches off her. But when she meets John-a ruggedly handsome mortician, of all people-at the funeral of a family friend, her life changes forever. As John and Macie's relationship blooms into marriage, the two must overcome their differences and the struggles life throws in their path. John persuades Macie to sell her salon and work at the mortuary with him and his socially impaired brother, Charlie, applying makeup to the corpses. Macie gets pregnant but miscarries immediately after John has rough sex with her. John becomes an emotional wreck after this, convinced the miscarriage was his fault, and when she gets pregnant again, he avoids all but the gentlest of sexual interactions. Meanwhile, at the mortuary, Macie's been noticing some irregularities with the bodies. Sometimes they appear disheveled or in a different position than the day before. Now seven months pregnant and feeling more disconcerted each day, Macie wonders what's really going on. Will trust and fidelity survive the bitterly cold reality of her morbid discovery?
