John Cooper Clarke
WHAT
picador
An astonishing new collection from the Poet Laureate of Punk and the Bard of Salford, Dr John Cooper Clarke.
Dr John Cooper Clarke’s dazzling, scabrous voice has reverberated through pop culture for decades, his influence on generations of performance poets and musicians plain for all to see. In WHAT, the original ‘People’s Poet’ comes storming out of the gate w ith an uproarious new collection, reminding us w hy he is one of Britain’s most beloved w riters and performers. James Brow n, John F. Kennedy, Jesus Christ: nobody is safe from the punk rocker’s acerbic pen – and that’s just the first poem. Hot on the heels of The Luckiest Guy Alive and his spraw ling, encyclopaediac memoir I Wanna Be Yours, the good Doctor returns w ith his most trenchant collection of poems yet. Vivid and alive, w ith a sensitivity only a w riter w ith a life as varied and extraordinary as Cooper Clarke’s could summon, WHAT is an exceptional collection from one of our foremost satirists.
