For the first time in a single volume, the collected poems of misunderstood intellectual and tortured poet Adrian Mole.

Mole Press - a brand new imprint of Penguin Books - is proud to announce the first publication of The Collected Poems of Adrian Mole to mark the author's 50TH birthday.

Featuring poems scattered over nearly thirty years of writing and salvaged from the diaries 'authored' by one Sue Townsend, this slim volume features more than thirty pieces of Adrian's unique art.

From his timeless first documented poem The Tap via classic odes to his muse, first and only true love Pandora (I adore ya), we follow Adrian's life in verse form. We not only witness his burgeoning political anger in works like Mrs Thatcher (Do you weep, Mrs Thatcher, do you weep?) but also see in later poems his merciless examination of the hollow shell of masculinity as well as documenting his declining libido in tragic pieces like To My Organ.

For the first time in a single volume, these are the collected poems of misunderstood intellectual and tortured poet Adrian Mole.

Industry Reviews

Mole Press - a brand new imprint of Penguin Books - is proud to announce the first publication of The Collected Poems of Adrian Mole to mark the author's 50TH birthday. * from the publisher's description *
Edgy politics, tortured eroticism, misunderstood intellect, changing Britain - a whiff of the sublime. Mole's contribution is significant * Daily Telegraph *
People will want to read The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole forever. The reason is simple: it's really, really, really funny * David Walliams *
The funniest person in the world * Caitlin Moran *
One of the great comic creations * Daily Mirror *
The publishers could offer a money back guarantee if you don't laugh and be sure they wouldn't have to write a single check * Jeremy Paxman *
Adrian Mole is one of literature's great underachievers; his tragedy is that he knows it and the sadness of this undercuts the humour and makes us laugh not until, but while, it hurts * Daily Mail *
