Hearing Eye

Birtill covers his favourite themes of death, relationships and mental illness with his usual brand of dark humour and deep-veined irony - definitely not for the faint-hearted.

“Packed with short, sharp, witty and irreverant observations.”

“A kind of anti-Laureate who makes Philip Larkin sound life affirming”

“His stark and hard-hitting verse skillfully echoes the neuroses of life.”

“Time and again his dark humor hits the mark.”

“Bleedin’ fabulous”
