The godfather of British performance poetry Daily TelegraphThe 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 handgrenade haikus, machinegun ballads and a meditation on the loss of Bonos leather pants The Luckiest Guy Alive collects stunning set pieces and triedandtested audience favourites to show Cooper Clarke still effortlessly at the top of his game. Cooper Clarkes 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 razorsharp social satirist. Effortlessly immediate and contemporary, full of hardwon wisdom and expert blindsidings, its 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 Britains 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
