PUB GRUB

Fun + filthy poems from someone who knows what they’re doing. If there were any justice he’d be Poet Laureate, or King.

A sticky-floored celebration of the ordinary. Wright conjures up a world of Tuesday lunchtimes and small town boozers in poems that burst with inventive language, sonic trickery, and big-hearted storytelling.


“A sardonic comic verve to rival Stewart Lee.” ★★★★★ Telegraph

“Honesty, humour, ire and wonder.” ★★★★★ Stage

“His poems shoot arrows through the heart” ★★★★ List
