The Luckiest Guy Alive
John Cooper Clarke - Book - by John Cooper Clarke
(2021)
The
godfather of British performance poetry - Daily TelegraphThe Luckiest
Guy Alive is the first new book of poetry from Dr John Cooper Clarke for
several decades - and a brilliant, scabrous, hilarious collection from
one of our most beloved and influential writers and performers. From the
'Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman' to a hymn to the seductive properties
of the pie - by way of hand-grenade haikus, machine-gun ballads and a
meditation on the loss of Bono's leather pants - The Luckiest Guy Alive
collects stunning set pieces, tried-and-tested audience favourites and
brand new poems to show Cooper Clarke still effortlessly at the top of
his game. Cooper Clarke's status as the 'Emperor of Punk Poetry' is
certainly confirmed here, but so is his reputation as a brilliant
versifier, a poet of vicious wit and a razor-sharp social satirist.
Effortlessly
immediate and contemporary, full of hard-won wisdom and expert
blindsidings, it's easy to see why the good Doctor has continued to
inspire several new generations of performers from Alex Turner to Plan
B: The Luckiest Guy Alive shows one of the most compelling poets of the
age on truly exceptional form. 'John Cooper Clarke is one of Britain's
outstanding poets. His anarchic punk poetry has thrilled people for
decades ...
Long
may his slender frame and spiky top produce words and deeds that keep
us on our toes and alive to the wonders of the world.' Sir Paul
McCartney
