'Byron Rogers' brilliant biography of the Welsh vicar poet deserves every literary gong going. It is scrupulously researched, witty erudite, laugh-outloud funny and made extraordinarily vivid by the author having met his irascible subject in the flesh … I haven't enjoyed a biography so much in years'
Val Hennessy, Daily Mail
'Byron Rogers' lively and affectionate biography … is unexpectedly, even riotously funny… warm, perceptive, ruthless, gossipy and admiring'
Rowan Williams, Sunday Times
'One of the most brilliant biographies I have ever read, by turns very bleak and very funny, written with a magical combination of sympathy and horror … A biography touched by genius'
Craig Brown, Mail on Sunday
