Continuum Press are to publish a book by Gavin Hopps this summer that "attempts to position Morrissey in the ranks of the great British poets." Here's the full blurb from The Bookseller:
MORRISSEY: THE PAGEANT OF HIS BLEEDING HEART
The former Smiths leader has bounded back to the top reaches of the charts with a slew of new releases, and was even said to have expressed an interest in contributing a Eurovision song this year! This recent success has shown that his writing skill was not limited to the brief brilliance of the Smiths, and this (over-ambitiously?) attempts to position Morrissey in the ranks of the great British poets.
The Amazon entry is here, although I think their publication date is a little over-optimistic.
Incidentally, Omnibus Press (Johnny Rogan's publishers) are also putting out a collection of Paul Slattery's photographs, entitled THE SMITHS - THE EARLY YEARS this September.
