Luke Wright: Pub Grub

Fun and filthy poems from someone who knows what they're doing. If there were any justice, he'd be Poet Laureate, or King. A sticky-floored celebration of the ordinary. Wright conjures up a world of Tuesday lunchtimes and small-town boozers in poems that burst with inventive language, sonic trickery, and big-hearted storytelling. 'A streetwise panache and a sardonic comic verve to rival Stewart Lee' ***** (Telegraph). 'Honesty, humour, ire and wonder. He is at the peak of his powers' ***** (Stage). 'His poems shoot arrows through the heart' **** (List).
