Away From You
Away From You
Away from youI feel a great emptiness
a gnawing loneliness
With you
I get that reassuring feeling
of wanting to escape.

Roger McGough
(England, 1937)
Roger McGough was born in Liverpool in 1937, and his career has been inextricably bound to his home city: he came to prominence in the 1960s as one of the beat-inspired, pop-movement ‘Liverpool poets’ – the other two being Adrian Henri and Brian Patten – and has represented Liverpudlian culture ever since.
