Charles Bukowski
Changed the face of poetry – a brutal realist, who wasn’t afraid to explore taboo in his dark and funny work poetry, novels, short stories and articles.
Martin Amis
Writes with a flair and humour that is totally compelling.
Lee Harwood
Deeply introspective poetry with pioneering form devices and often beautiful, relatable sentiment.
John Steinbeck
Creator of vivid dust-bowl landscapes and gritty characters. A moral story teller, and interesting non fiction author too.
Stephen King
The storyteller of my youth. A terrific macabre imagination and wicked purveyor of the unseen twist.
