	Life, love, death, and poetry in the work of Brian Patten
		The work of 'The Liverpool poets' was written to be read aloud in public, and although the poets have now developed separately, their literary outlook is still characterized by their common commitment to reviving poetry as a performance.
		The poetry of 'The Liverpool poets' is also characterized by the undercurrent of sarcasm, irony and pungent wit, which runs through many of their poems.
		The poet traces the origin of the 'burning genius' generated in the lover, showing that it was due to his love for a violinist who spurned his amorous advances, causing him to seek solace by cultivating an interest in music which in turn became a passion.

		Jim Bennett is very much of that generation of Liverpool poets who adopted the directness and spontaneity of American beat writing and adapted it into a peculiarly English - and Liverpudlian - mode of expression.
		Folk singer, poet, guitarist, comedian with impeccable timing and well honed ad-libs, he is the complete entertainer.
		Poets often do not do justice to their own work, but Jim has been performing for a long time.

	LIVERPOOL EVERYMAN & PLAYHOUSE THEATRES - About Us
		The intimacy of the Everyman’s thrust space has wrapped itself around the reinterpretation of classics that characterised the sixties; the political drama and theatrical mischief that followed in the early seventies; the rich vein of new writing which bridged the transition to the eighties, and the ambitious theatricality which carried it into the nineties.
		Whether it is the debut of a new Liverpool playwright, a new version of a world classic, or the British prem ière of a major international play, the warmth and dynamism of the Everyman space embraces each of the stories that traverse its stage.
		Built in 1866 as the Star Music Hall, the Liverpool Playhouse became a full-time repertory theatre in 1911, and was the oldest repertory company in the country when it was sadly wound up in 1999.

		It was only on returning to Liverpool for three years as a teacher, and reading his work to the children that he realised there was an audience for his writing.
		The next part of the story, and in a sense, McGough’s second beginning came with his collaborations with the other two ‘Liverpool Poets’ (a label he does not mind, as long as it is used in a geographical rather than a derogatory sense), Adrian Henri and Brian Patten.

		Duncan is, once again, absolute in his condemnation: “The equation [blownup personality: emptied technique] neatly sums up the Liverpool poets…The use of irony is necessary to tone down the insistent presence of the poet’s ego, which has squeezed out all subject matter.” Then, in the mid-1970s, Duncan’s worst nightmare.
		The age of leisure and education demands complex poetry.” So, it seems Duncan’s anti-Larkin crankiness, his hostility to the Liverpool poets and the bile he pours on Stevie Smith are all the result of his frustrated desire for a poetry more complex than anything their work might have to offer.

	Tribute to Adrian Henri
		This man has fronted a rock band (although The Liverpool Scene couldn't be contained by the simple words 'rock band'), is a highly respected poet, and an award winning artist.
		But it was as a communicator, in the broadest sense of the word, that he made his greatest impact, both on those around him and on the cultural scene generally.
		Alongside that of the other so-called Liverpool poets, this resulted in the Liverpool Scene anthology, edited by Edward Lucie-Smith, then (with Roger McGough and Brian Patten) the Penguin Modern Poets' Mersey Sound, which remains one of the best-selling poetry collections of all time.
