The Unquiet Gravy

A collection of verse inspired by the style of John Cooper Clarke, the ‘Godfather of Punk Poetry.’ The verse is mostly commentary on current social issues, attitudes and mores addressed in a sardonic and hopefully amusing manner. Ideally, the verse should be read to a club or pub audience in a rapid manner and in a Manchester accent. The author has a bash at establishment figures, ‘celebrities,’ and ‘political correctness,’ and other current topics.

Max Artusov

Max Artusov attended both Oxford and Cambridge (Borstals). He received unnoticed critical acclaim for putting the ‘Ding’ into Reading, the ‘Sex’ into Middlesex and something into Scunthorpe. His ambition is to take the ‘Woke’ out of Wokingham. Max drinks, eats and smokes too much, is overweight and is rather curmudgeonly. He has reached that point in life when everything annoys him. He does not support a football team and has no slippers. This book is an attempt to vent and donate his spleen to society.
