Hooray! 6 hours later... I should now have an edition of 25 - 30 👍 - this print will now forever be associated with John Cooper Clarke's 'Snap, Crackle & Bop' and 'Disguise in Love', which I had on repeat. . The next micropoem print will be based on something along these lines: . in an Eastbourne café looking across a sea of white hair . . . #practisepractisepractise #printmaker #linocut #brexit #illustrator #illustration #micropoem #micropoetry #senryū #senryu #johncooperclarke https://www.instagram.com/p/B4x1jb9n8gS/?igshid=1oylumcxzgb0w

Today in Contemporary British Poetry class, the Professor referred to this, which I had no idea about. Arctic Monkeys' song “I Wanna Be Yours” is actually a poem written by John Cooper Clarke. Here’s what I found on Genius:
“John Cooper Clarke, poet and national treasure, recorded this poem in 1982.
Most of Clarke’s poetry is rhythmic and can be set to music. It works best as a performance poem, best read aloud to maximise the humour.
It is a love poem with a difference, in that the speaker uses inanimate objects as metaphors — vacuum cleaner; Ford Cortina, coffee pot etc. Each has its humour and significance. Note the Cortina anchors the poem in the 1970s and 1980s.

Alex with John Cooper Clarke “I think me and Alex do social realism - but with a tweak… It’s reality but it’s cranked up a couple of gears. ‘Real’ reality’s quite dull. It’s not really that interesting, is it?” "Creo que Alex y yo hacemos realismo social, pero con un cambio ... Es la realidad, pero se ha acelerado un par de velocidades. La realidad "real" es bastante aburrida. No es verdaderamente tan interesante, ¿verdad?"
