'It's really, really, really funny' David Walliams Mole Press - a
brand new imprint of Penguin Books - is proud to announce the first
publication of The Collected Poems of Adrian Mole to mark the
author's 50TH birthday. --------------------------- 'Edgy politics,
tortured eroticism, misunderstood intellect, changing Britain - a
whiff of the sublime. Mole's contribution is significant' Daily
Telegraph Featuring poems scattered over nearly thirty years of
writing and salvaged from the diaries 'authored' by one Sue
Townsend, this slim volume features more than thirty pieces of
Adrian's unique art. From his timeless first documented poem - The
Tap - via classic odes to his muse, first and only true love
Pandora (I adore ya), we follow Adrian's life in verse form. We not
only witness his burgeoning political anger in works like Mrs
Thatcher (Do you weep, Mrs Thatcher, do you weep?) but also see in
later poems his merciless examination of the hollow shell of
masculinity as well as documenting his declining libido in tragic
pieces like To My Organ. For the first time in a single volume,
these are the collected poems of misunderstood intellectual and
tortured poet Adrian Mole. 'I ruthlessly exploited Adrian. But he
can't afford to sue me' Sue Townsend 'Wonderfully funny and sharp
as knives' Sunday Times 'One of the great comic creations' Daily
Mirror 'The funniest person in the world' Caitlin Moran
