What readers say about Hugo Williams

  1. On Bar Italia

    “I read the nine or so poems of Hugo's in this collection. There's not enough in them to attract me to get his book or to consider reading his other works. Some are better than others and have a glint of interesting themes, but the words are to square. I see nothing there to make me care.”
