Brian Patten was one of the successful and influential "Liverpool Poets", who emerged in the 1960s.
Today, Brian is one of the most popular poets - for young people and adults alike. He has also written plays and fiction and edited poetry anthologies.
Brian Patten was born in 1946 in Liverpool, and spent his childhood in the docklands. He left school at the age of fifteen to become a cub-reporter on The Bootle Times - his duties included writing the popular music column.
His own writing caught the public's attention with the publication of 'Little Johnny's Confession' in 1967, when he was twenty-one years old. Since then he has written several adult poetry collections, including Vanishing Trick (1976) and Love Poems (1981).
