{"product_id":"9781908058096","title":"Mondeo Man. Luke Wright","description":"Explosive political satire and acerbic wit leap from stage to page in Mondeo Man - the hotly anticipated debut collection from Luke Wright.\u003cp\u003eYummy 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWide-ranging, approachable and formally adept, Mondeo Man both celebrates and laments a country of disappearing pubs, celebrity anti-heroes and motorway service stations, perfectly capturing the English idiom at the turn of the twenty-first century. Whether in sonnet, ballad, ottava rima or univocalism, Wright's fast-paced rhythms and inventive rhyme always hit the spot and never pull their punches. This is poetry at its most contemporary, satirical, fun, and archetypally English.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e_\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReviews\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"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.'\u003cbr\u003e☆☆☆☆☆ Huffington Post\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Although Wright's sprightly verse drips with cynical disdain for Tories, outraged tabloidese and the weekend excesses of a feckless working-class, there's a rich strain of empathy coursing through his work.
