'Tim's scripts are always concise, unexpected and full of lightly worn wisdom. His friendly and engaging manner is exactly reflected in his work.'

John Florance

'I am very honoured to have had this poem written for me, and it simply remains for me to take it out of its "safe place" and ensure it is visible for not just myself, but others to see and appreciate. It is a lovely poem. Very moving. I'm going to frame it. Thank you so much!'

Rt. Hon. Jeremy Corbyn MP

'Loved [Grayson's] poetry. It is in my pocket, even now.'

"Fascinating. [Grayson] seems to be channelling the spirit of Verlaine and Baudelaire through a twenty-first century sensibility."
