The 'godfather of British performance poetry' - Daily Telegraph
The Luckiest Guy Alive is the first new poetry book by Dr. John Cooper Clarke in several decades – a stunning, sarcastic, and humorous collection from one of the most beloved and influential writers and performers. From "Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman" to an ode to the appealing properties of pie – through haiku hand grenades, submachine gun ballads, and a reflection on the loss of Bono's leather trousers – the collection The Luckiest Guy Alive brings together striking pieces and tried-and-true audience favorites, proving that Cooper Clarke is still at the top of his game.
Cooper Clarke's status as the 'Emperor of Punk Poetry' is confirmed here, but his reputation as a brilliant poet, a poet with biting wit and astute social satire, is also affirmed. Immediate and contemporary, filled with hard-earned wisdom and masterful exaggerations, it's easy to see why the good doctor continues to inspire several new generations of artists from Alex Turner to Plan B: The Luckiest Guy Alive showcases one of the era's most thrilling poets in truly exceptional form.
John Cooper Clarke is one of Britain's great poets. His anarchic punk poetry has captivated people for decades . . . may his slender figure and coiffed hair live on to produce words and deeds that keep us alert and alive to the wonders of the world.
