The Noble Savage

Tony Curry

Synopsis

Tony Curry has been blazing a trail through poetry slams and open mics for years with an accessible mix of urban eloquence, social and personal observations, thought provoking pertinence and sly humour.
This first collection from one of the finest poets based in the northwest today, draws together a highly quotable core of reasoning and secures performance to the page.
He never played for England (or Sheffield Utd for that matter).

With illustrations by Martin Stannage.

Reviews

Tony Curry’s poetry is a window into yesterday. A rhythmic world of skunk, Es and 501s, gorillas, queens and signing on. Historical and poetic. I love it.
