O knihe

'John Cooper Clarke is one of Britain's outstanding poets. His anarchic punk poetry has thrilled people for decades' Sir Paul McCartney
The Luckiest Guy Alive is the first new book of poetry from Dr John Cooper Clarke for several decades - and a brilliant, hilarious collection from one of our most beloved and influential writers and performers. From the 'Attack of the 50ft 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 - this book collects stunning set pieces, tried-and-tested audience favourites and brand new poems 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. It's easy to see why the good Doctor continues to inspire 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.
'He's an absolute genius' Steve Coogan
'The godfather of British performance poetry' Daily Telegraph
'A gentleman punk, a man who has stayed exactly the same for thirty years but never grown stale. John Cooper Clarke is an original' Scotsman
