Fun + filthy poems from someone who knows what they’re doing. If there were any justice he’d be Poet Laureate, or King.

Luke Wright is back with a sticky-floored celebration of the ordinary. Here the poet conjures up a world of Tuesday lunchtimes and small town boozers in poems that burst with inventive language.

Wright’s poems are full of audacious rhymes, insane sonic trickery, and big-hearted storytelling, they’ll leave you feeling a little light headed. Expect loads of laughs, a few more coins in the swear jar, and a sore head in the morning.

 

“A streetwise panache that puts dusty laureates to shame and a sardonic comic verve to rival Stewart Lee.” ★★★★★ Telegraph

“A winning combination of honesty, humour, ire and wonder. He is at the peak of his powers.” ★★★★★ Stage

“A sharpness and wisdom that lifts the soul and soothes the battered heart.” ★★★★ Scotsman
