The long-awaited autobiography of John Cooper Clarke, the Bard of Salford, punk poet, rock star, fashion icon, national treasure and acerbic wit.

The Luckiest Guy Alive
'The godfather of British performance poetry' Daily Telegraph
'Pacy, punchy social satire. Reading it is like spending a night at the pub with your funniest friend, who also happens to have an astute take on everything from the state of the high street, to metrosexuality and the NHS' Evening Standard
'John Cooper Clarke is one of Britain's outstanding poets. His anarchic punk poetry has thrilled people for decades and his no nonsense approach to his work and life in general has appealed to many people including myself for many years. Long may his slender frame and spiky top produce words and deeds that keep us on our toes and alive to the wonders of the world.' Sir Paul McCartney

I telephoned hardworking entertainer and poet Dr. John Cooper Clarke to tell him how much I'm enjoying his memoir, I Wanna Be Yours . . . a buxom read and a highly entertaining one.
