He always emails me poems on my birthday, some of which I am devastated to see are reproduced on this website. I am able to recommend a very experienced therapist.

Former colleague

Trevor Thickett continues to submit his poems to our office. His work produces a deeply unpleasant sensation of giddiness and revulsion, and is without doubt the single biggest cause of a severe decline in mental health amongst our workforce. We have applied for a court injunction. 

Editor, Poetry Times

I've read some of Mr Thickett's poems. They are awful and have no commercial value whatsoever. Where does he get his money from? We have called in the Serious Fraud Office.

I have lived next door to Trevor Thickett for ten years. I wish I hadn't. I once heard him berate his son for only having one face.

Neighbour

As far as I can see, the man survives on a diet of Cornish pasties and milky coffee, and I applaud him for it.
