en-wikipedia-org-1783		Roger McGough - Wikipedia			.html	text/html	2846	322	70	Roger Joseph McGough CBE FRSL (/məˈɡɒf/; born 6 November 1937) is an English poet, performance poet, broadcaster, children's author and playwright. Contemporaneously, the poet Philip Larkin became the university's librarian; newly arrived at Hull, he served as a sub-warden at Needler Hall, though he lived in private accommodation nearby.[6] Several years later McGough corresponded with Larkin about poetry, sending him some of his own poems as he still lacked the confidence to approach the man directly. One of McGough's early poems, Let Me Die a Youngman's Death (but not, as the poem states, before the poet reaches 73, 91 or 104 years of age), was included in a BBC anthology of the British nation's hundred favourite poems.[12] McGough has been nicknamed "the patron saint of poetry" by Carol Ann Duffy.[13] Philip Larkin included McGough's poetry in The Oxford Book of Twentieth Century English Verse, which he edited in 1973. ^ CBE for Liverpool poet McGough BBC News 12 June 2004	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-1783.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-1783.txt
