About me: Peter Wyton is delighted to be
Gloucestershire 1000 Poet Laureate
.............................................................
Peter is available solo, or with Emily Wills [ www.emilywills.co.uk ] as 'Wills And Wyton'
U A Fanthorpe says...
'Wills and Wyton are like Gilbert and Sullivan – an immensely enjoyable combination of talents that leave you entertained, informed, surprised and often deeply moved.
These are experienced poetic observers, alert to the comedy and the pathos in everyday life, sharpening our awareness, shaking us out of our complacency. Quite different from each other in style and presentation, together they lead us through a wide range of experience, domestic and universal, past and present.
Compassionate, entertaining, wise and witty, they’re a double act not to be missed'.

'We don’t normally publish poetry but this is so good we will break our own rules'.
Sandra Barwick Daily Telegraph
'The guy from Oxford who did the life of the planet – want to hear more, much more of him – and that poem – stunning. He is a genius and that was our favourite poem of the evening'.
George Monbiot Guardian columnist
‘..stimulating, sensual, pacey, eclectic, surreal..’ Cheltenham Art Gallery and Museum
‘..star of the performance poetry world. Ready with irony, riddled with wordplay acute with enquiry..’ Ledbury Poetry Festival instigator
‘..crisp and witty poems. Wyton is always a joy..’ John Burns
‘..a real writer with something to say – often something uniquely skewed..’ Tony Grist
‘..unshakeable, fearless and funny. Peter is to poetry what Evel Knievel is to motorcycles – a daredevil…’ Disastronaut
