Reviews
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.' A A'A A'A A'A A'A A' HUFFINGTON POST // Although WrightA fs sprightly verse drips with cynical disdain for Tories, outraged tabloidese and the weekend excesses of a feckless working-class, thereA fs a rich strain of empathy coursing through his work. More Crappy Albion than Broken Britain. A A'A A'A A'A A' THE LIST // [Mondeo Man is] not only verbally substantial, skilful and very funny but also complex in its feeling. GEORGE SZIRTES // Luke is a craftsman with a big heart. [Mondeo Man is] an excellent book. IAN MCMILLAN // Rude, rabid and relentlessly rhythmic. CAMBRIDGE STUDENT
