opinions of robson:

‘if welsh poetry has any kind of a future it lies with robson.’
anthony brockway, babylon wales

‘vigorous & exhilarating, robson is unignorable.’
robert minhinnick, poetry wales

‘thank fuck for lloyd robson, the stammering yammering
neo-dadaist poet/writer/visual artist... his writing fizzes
and crackles with the rhythms of the city he writes so
passionately about.’
dylan moore, cfuk

‘robson’s reach is determinedly wide & his focus so honed...
few contemporaries share such qualities... a national treasure.’
niall griffiths, planet

‘none is more assiduous in their celebration of the hard, scrabbled
life than robson.’
john williams, bbc radio three

‘robson, eclectically, takes both the surface and the depth from
the cultural possibilities which surround him... a rare talent.’
steve spence, terrible work

‘robson's voice is assured, excessive, thoughtful... his energy is
wonderfully matched by an ability to reflect & think... i can’t
think of another contemporary writer he reminds me of.’
steve spence, terrible work

‘an often outrageous, but forever entertaining, welsh poet.’
dean powell, western mail

‘an authentic and original voice able to deliver streetwise power
punches with the deceptive subtlety of true ringcraft.’
john harrison, new welsh review

‘[robson] can make other versifers resemble whisperers at the sidelines...
you’ve got to like him because he can do the thing, write the line.’
k m dersley, tears in the fence

‘a consummate craftsman, flexible & utterly sure in how he constructs
his work... he has the admiration of his peers.’
clive meachen, university of wales

‘in the field of English [language] writing in wales things still
follow the pastoral line... lloyd robson is among the few who
have anarchically sniped from the sidelines... he’s just not
what people expect a poet to be.’
peter finch, planet

‘lloyd robson is certainly an innovator... the most adventurous poet...
whether or not he is the new messiah... is another question...’
raymond humphreys, roundyhouse

‘the most potent writer wales has.’
chris torrance

‘the man can write.’
graham hartill, planet
