Top UK poet chronicles the country's Brexit Toll during UK tour and visits Oxford in April

Leading British poet, broadcaster and festival curator Luke Wright follows the international success of his first play What I Learned From Johnny Bevan with a dazzling selection of poems from his new book The Toll.

Luke turns his lyrical gaze onto the trials and tolls facing Brexit Britain, touring the flat-roofed pubs and half bought couches of the country as it struggles with doubt, duty and half-cut nights spent shouting impotently at Question Time on TV. 

Wright makes poetry accessible, normal even, with verse that ranges from the genuinely laugh out loud funny to heartbreakingly poignant - linked with patter that rivals the very best stand up comedians.

Luke curates the spoken word line-ups at The Latitude Festival, Festival Number 6 and The Edinburgh International Book Festival and tours the world each year (as far afield as Sri Lanka, China and Australia) with his unique brand of poetry and can often be seen opening for John Cooper Clarke. 

Now he’s back in Cambridge to subject the English language to a series of new tricks for our amusement.

Luke Wright performs at The North Wall in Oxford on April 27, call 01865 319450 for ticket enquiries or visit: www.thenorthwall.com/
