Luke Wright: Pub Grub
Fun + filthy poems from someone who knows what they’re doing. If there were any justice he’d be Poet Laureate, or King.
After selling out shows across the country with JOY!, 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.
Forget your “best life” come and live your worst. 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.” ★★★★★ The Telegraph
“A winning combination of honesty, humour, ire and wonder. He is at the peak of his powers.” ★★★★★ The Stage
“His poems shoot arrows through the heart, or leave you dazzled by their virtuosity” ★★★★ The List
“Witty observation and rollicking acuity” ★★★★ The Guardian
“A sharpness and wisdom that lifts the soul and soothes the battered heart.” ★★★★ The Scotsman
