About this audiobook
Punk. Poet. Pioneer. The Bard of Salford’s hugely anticipated new collection of poetry, The Luckiest Guy Alive, is his first in over thirty years. These are poems as scabrous, wry and vivid as only John Cooper Clarke could deliver. Inimitable and iconic, this collection will be a complete joy for lifelong fans and a whole new generation.
John Cooper Clarke
John Cooper Clarke shot to prominence in the 1970s as the original ‘people’s 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 today’s 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 life is huge. I Wanna Be Yours is his long awaited autobiography.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5John Cooper Clarke is a profane genius. I normally f*cking hate poetry but I loved every moment of this. I normally don't listen to audio books but I think the man reading his own prose is the only way to go in this case. Brilliant.
