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 '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--back cover.

I Wanna Be Yours covers an extraordinary life, filled with remarkable personalities: from Nico to Chuck Berry, from Bernard Manning to Linton Kwesi Johnson, Elvis Costello to Gregory Corso, Gil Scott-Heron, Mark E. Smith and Jow Strummer, and on to more recent fans and collaborators Alex Turner, Plan B and Guy Garvey. Interspersed with stories of his rock and roll and performing career, John also reveals his boggling encyclopaedic take on popular culture over the centuries: from Baudelaire and Edgar Allen Poe to Pop Art, pop music, the movies, fashion, football and showbusiness -- and much, much more, plus a few laughts along the way--back cover.
