The Noble Savage by Tony Curry

He'll never play for England...

Poetry | ISBN-13: 978 0 9542816 2 5 | chapbook | £4.00

 

Do I wish to live till a hundred?
Taking it easy
Touching my pulse
Abstinence in abundance 

Full of early nights
Skirting away from anything
Which may be contrary
To a healthy lifestyle...

-      from The Return of the Noble Savage

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. 
With b&w illustrations by Martin Stannage.

Co-writer of Sex, Drugs & Tequila Slammers, a 'Soap' on Radio Wythenshawe, Tony Curry's other multi-media credits in Manchester include Blind Vision and Complicit Relations, performed at Central Library, Brit Boy at greenroom theatre, and both Moving and Odyssey at Royal Exchange Theatre. This is Tony's first collection of poetry in print and draws together a highly quotable core of reasoning and secures performance to the page.

"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" - Mike Garry, poet & author of 'Mancunian Meander'
