Mondeo Man

by Luke Wright

Explosive political satire and acerbic wit leap from stage to page in this hotly anticipated debut collection from Luke Wright. 'Mondeo Man' 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 21st century.

[Russio · Rating 3 out of 5]

An early collection from Luke Wright that lacks a bit of the verve and polish of his more recent work.

[Kahn · Rating 5 out of 5]

At some point, the modern education system being what it is, the simple joy of poetry gets stripped away - as we are forced to peak behind the curtain, rather than enjoy the show.
For those who have had such an experience, may I suggest dipping in to the work of Luke Wright.
The Bard Of Bungay (If he ever claims that, I want 10%) (OK, 7%) (Fine, 5%, and that's my final offer) has the gift of weaving whimsy with political punch, pulling at your heartstrings while painting pictures of life today, telling tales of love and heartbreak with effortless ease.
He makes poetry come alive, makes it visual, and your soul will feel just that bit shinier when you've finished this collection.

As good on the page as he is on the stage (that's a poem!).

[Philip Brown · Rating 4 out of 5]

Razor sharp observations of the UK landscape accompanied with wit and a healthy dollop of self-deprecation

More rhymey than I’m used to but it’s good to step out of your comfort zone from time to time
