Newspaper taxis : poetry after the Beatles

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

More than 50 years ago, the Beatles started a revolution, transforming the face of music, youth, and popular culture. This collection of poems responds to the Beatles' music as well as to their historical influence--both in the 1960s and today. With contributions by a myriad of poets young and old--including Simon Armitage, Carol Ann Duffy, Elaine Feinstein, Peter Finch, Adrian Henry, Philip Larkin, Roddy Lumsden, Lachlan MacKinnon, Roger McGough, Sheenagh Pugh, Jeremy Reed, and Carol Rumens--this book is a tribute to the Beatles' creativity and capacity to influence successive generations.
