#mcgough

by Roger McGough

I don’t want any of that

“We’re gathered here today

to celebrate his life, not mourn his passing.”

Oh yes you are. Get one thing straight,

you’re not here to celebrate

but mourn until it hurts.

I want wailing and gnashing of teeth.

I want sobs, and I want them

uncontrollable. I want women

flinging themselves on the coffin

and I want them inconsolable.

Don’t dwell on my past but on your future.

For what you see is what you’ll be

and sooner than you think.

So get weeping. Fill yourselves with dread.

For I am not sleeping. I am dead.

Oggi sul Manifesto una bella recensione dell’antologia poetica di Roger McGough, La resa dei conti.

Medusa ha pubblicato tre libri di McGough, gli unici finora in Italia, che rendono disponibile una scelta molto ampia della sua poesia. Nel 2003 il libro per bambini La magica pallina da tennis, nel 2004 Eclissi quotidiane e ora La resa dei conti, che completa il quadro poetico del decano dei poeti inglesi.
