'The godfather of British performance poetry' - Daily Telegraph The
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 and tried-and-tested audience favourites 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
