There is some pain" (Spectator) "Comedy's poet laureate" (Independent); "Hegley is that literary rarity - a successful poet" (Guardian); "John Hegley is a joy, technically deft and delightfully silly" (Daily Telegraph); "Guerrilla wordsmith to the bold and beautiful, John Hegley crafts poetry which is deceptively simple; wisely foolish; funnily particular, and peculiarly funny" (Glasgow Herald)
