Ten Years In An Open Necked Shirt by John Cooper Clarke

A hard-hitting collection of rapid-fire, performance-ready poems that use punk-inflected rhythms and razor-sharp wordplay to sketch the grit and humor of urban life, offering vivid portraits of drifters, eccentrics and nightlife scenes while delivering satirical barbs at class, consumerism and social hypocrisy, tempered by moments of rueful tenderness and human vulnerability.
