Underbelly

Admin

'The best young performance poet around' (Observer) presents eight caustic tales from Broken Britain. Let him lead you through Blighty's run-down shopping precincts, provincial high streets and airless television studios to introduce a cast of tone-deaf pop wannabes, terrorized single mums and baby-boomers with afflu-AIDS. Between each poem Luke offers a pithy crash course in the history of balladry, from broadsides to Christina Aguilera. Stunning Steadman-esque illustrations accompany each poem courtesy of Sam Ratcliffe. 'Visceral, poignant and riotously funny' (The Scotsman). ***** (Herald, Time Out).
