simon freedman | poet






"The variety of subject matter and style is impressive...he has a great way with words and can use humour to very good effect."
Alison Brackenbury

"Imagistically strong, perfect ear, an aching lyricism...." Paul Henry

"By turns both heartfelt and cheeky, both sincere and flippant...he is capable of doing something many poets find incredibly difficult, making the reader laugh...he has a strong voice which is undoubtedly his own, and is not afraid to write candidly about his own experiences." Claire Askew

"His poems are towers of colorful fantasy fortified by the strong scaffold of the world as we know it, familiar and accessible to all of us...." Adham Smart
