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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'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\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Book Nook","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58247784792445,"sku":"9781509896066","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0539\/6525\/8945\/files\/9781509896066_3a402df3-381d-47ac-a0c3-0b4a72c4269a.jpg?v=1780573990","url":"https:\/\/www.booknookshop.co.uk\/products\/9781509896066","provider":"The Book Nook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
