Overview

The first new book of poetry from Dr. John Cooper Clarke for several decades is 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 favorites 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, The Luckiest Guy Alive shows one of the most compelling poets of the age on truly exceptional form.
