No Joke
by Mark Pirie

No Joke

No Joke is Mark Pirie's second book of poems. Its contents are varied in approach, yet often subvert traditional readings by employing strategies of simplification and exaggeration out of a wide range of sources, including films, song lyrics, comic strips and other forms of popular culture.

'[Pirie] displays a wicked sense of humour and a cunning sense of style' - The Listener.
