Most of these went straight over my head in all honesty. Poetry is meant to be spoken-that's the great oral tradition, and it shouldn't matter what the subject matter is as long as it's being read aloud. Despite the hit-and-miss nature of poetry-and this collection is no exception-this is part of that fight back from many modern-day poets, wherein they are retaking poetry back from the languid romantics who wrote everything down ('recollected in tranquility' as Wordsworth so eloquently put it) and instead are throwing it out to the people en masse. This is the only written collection of his poems, which is a shame because he's an important figure-though he'd kill me for saying that-poetically and culturally. It is interesting to note that, scientifically, the more intelligent you are the more likely you are to swear using a wider range of swear words. The majority are full of rhymes-which in my very silly opinion all poetry must achieve-and are often vulgar if not full of swearing. Reflecting the performance nature of his poetry, John Cooper Clarke's poems here are lacking in punctuation and therefore roll off the tongue beautifully. Poetry is also the most hit-and-miss of the arts: even the same poet can produce the ultimate dross whilst also achieving a level of profoundness hitherto unimagined. Whether or not the poet intended that or not is none of their business. Poets write down what they mean, and readers read what they think it means. Poetry is the ultimate of subjective arts.
