“Didsbury has cultivated his own eccentricities in order to produce work that risks the ridiculous in order to gain glimpses of the wonderful [and] gives us a host of reasons to be glad he has done so.” - William Wootten, Guardian
“Readers’ are rewarded with visionary moments, and extravagances rare in current British poetry.” - Jules Smith, British Council Poetry Archive
“I do think he is wonderful.” - Carol Ann Duffy
“Didsbury is the kind of work that makes you realise what you’ve been putting up with in the meantime. The product of a large and peculiar imagination, it shows a sense of adventure hardly to be paralleled in contemporary poetry.” - Sean O’Brien
“With his unique way of seeing, Peter Didsbury is still one of the wisest, if also one of the most eccentric and unpredictable, of English poetic holymen.” - Ian Samson
