Our special guest this month is the much acclaimed and 1000th Gloucestershire Poet Laureate Peter Wyton. Born in Northern Ireland, Peter has lived all over the place since the age of 15, but has been rooted firmly in Gloucester since 1979. He has won many first prizes in literary competitions as well as in the field of slam performance poetry.
He has presented his work at Festivals and Arts Centres from Devon to Lancashire and at a wide variety of venues along the way, ranging from the Troubadour Café in Earls Court to Lewes Prison. He has had two nominations for the Forward Prize and his poetry has been featured in the Daily Telegraph, the Daily Express, on BBC Radio 4’s Poetry Please and Something Understood, in addition to several anthologies and a wide number of literary magazines. His latest collection, Not All Men Are From Mars, is being sold in support of Women’s Aid.
