Review

   • "Hugo Williams is rightly cherished for his inimitable fusion of autobiography and irony, and a technical glide that allows his writing to slip back to the past as effortlessly as a dreamer." --The Times

Review

I Knew the Bride is surely Williams's most accomplished and memorable collection to date...It confirms Williams as a poet of profound existential concerns, but one who talks levelly about life, love and death...He is currently one of the best poets we have. -- Ben Wilkinson - Guardian

The poems are full of sunshine, little moments captured in full light. This book is like a ray of sunshine, in its yellow cover and with its clear, bright emotionally complex poems and I recommend that you read it. -- Katy Evans-Bush - Baroque in Hackney Blog

For anyone drawn to the quotidian and the underrated sensation of melancholy, Willliams is your only man...These poems make painful reading. -- Alan Taylor - The Herald
