The godfather of British performance poetry - *Daily Telegraph*
The 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 hand-grenade haikus, machine-gun ballads and a meditation on the loss of Bonos leather pants The Luckiest Guy Alive 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 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 razor-sharp social satirist. Effortlessly immediate and contemporary, full of hard-won 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

"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
"I say to people, have you heard of John Cooper Clarke and if they say, yes, yeah he's an absolute genius and you just go, "Ohok, you've saved me a lot of time." Steve Coogan
"A poet who writes about darkness and decay but makes people laugh, a human cartoon, 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
"There are a legion of new young poets who rightly pay homage to Cooper Clarke." Independent
John Cooper Clarke shot to prominence in the 1970s as the original "peoples poet." Since then his career has spanned cultures, audiences, art forms and continents. Today, JCC is as relevant and vibrant as ever, and his influence just as visible on todays pop culture. Aside from his trademark "look" continuing to resonate with fashionistas young and old, and his poetry included on the national curriculum syllabus, his effect on modern music is huge. The Doctor's 2018 show, touring across the UK, USA, Canada and Australasia, is a mix of classic verse, extraordinary new material, hilarious ponderings on modern life, good honest gags, riffs and chata chance to witness a living legend at the top of his game.
