Explosive political satire and acerbic wit leap from stage to page
in Mondeo Man - the hotly anticipated debut collection from Luke
Wright. Yummy mummies and debauched Tory grandees mingle with drunk
Essex commuters and leering tabloid paps; a small town chip-shop
becomes the site of a heart-wrenching story of failed marriage; and
a televised manhunt enthrals an entire nation. Wide-ranging,
approachable and formally adept, Mondeo Man both celebrates and
laments a country of disappearing pubs, celebrity anti-heroes and
motorway service stations, perfectly capturing the English idiom at
the turn of the twenty-first century. Whether in sonnet, ballad,
ottava rima or univocalism, Wright's fast-paced rhythms and
inventive rhyme always hit the spot and never pull their punches.
This is poetry at its most contemporary, satirical, fun, and
archetypally English.
