Mondeo Man by Luke Wright
Explosive political satire and acerbic wit leap from stage to page in Mondeo Man by Luke Wright. Yummy mummies and debauched Tory grandees mingle with drunk Essex commuters and leering tabloid paps; a small town chip-shop becomes the site of a heart-wrenching story of failed marriage; and a televised manhunt enthrals an entire nation.
If any contemporary collection is going to convince the unbeliever that poetry can be a riot of cheek, giggles, boobs, tears and Facebook - while keeping its artistic integrity firmly intact - Mondeo Man is it' A A'A A'A A'A A'A A' HUFFINGTON POST // Although WrightA fs sprightly verse drips with cynical disdain for Tories, outraged tabloidese and the weekend excesses of a feckless working-class, thereA fs a rich strain of empathy coursing through his work. More Crappy Albion than Broken Britain. A A'A A'A A'A A' THE LIST // [Mondeo Man is] not only verbally substantial, skilful and very funny but also complex in its feeling. GEORGE SZIRTES // Luke is a craftsman with a big heart. [Mondeo Man is] an excellent book. IAN MCMILLAN // Rude, rabid and relentlessly rhythmic. CAMBRIDGE STUDENT
