    Read by the author, John Cooper Clarke.John Cooper Clarke may have an honorary doctorate and a poem on the English Literature GCSE syllabus, but don’t let that fool you: the ‘Poet Laureate of Punk’ is still a bona fide iconoclast. In Have It, a collection of scathing new poems, the Bard of Salford puts his pen to work across a host of painfully funny critiques of modern life.Praise for John Cooper Clarke‘A rhymer to be reckoned with . . . with a panache contemporary poets should aspire to and respect’ The Sunday Times‘John Cooper Clarke uses words like Chuck Berry uses guitar riffs melody and anger, humour and disdain in equal measure. He’s the real deal, really funny and really caustic, the velvet voice of discontent’ Kate Moss‘John Cooper Clarke is one of Britain’s outstanding poets.

    Published in 1879, this play was a bombshell, exposing the tragic hypocrisy of Victorian middle class marriage. The play is significant for the way it deals with the fate of a married woman, who at the time in Norway lacked reasonable opportunities for self-fulfillment in a male-dominated world. - A wife was almost literally a bird in a cage for display by the husband. Note that this is a solo reading of the entire play by one person.

     Scribbles   is a collection of poems written to express feelings that come with intense love, anger, betrayal, trauma, confusion, trust, and worry, and to help make sense of things. 
 Its goal is to shine a light on some thoughts and feelings one may be having when experiencing the worry for a friend's death, death of a lover, falling in love, or being betrayed, or being abused, trying to figure out one's own mind, or feeling as though one has lost their mind. 
 It is gritty and emotional, even lurid at times, but serves its purpose of letting out what cannot be contained.
