"Paul
Bura's distinct style of reading and
presentation of his poems makes him unique as a
reader of his own work. Favourites like THE
DRUNK ON THE TRAIN and THE ARCADE CASHIER
feature on this album. Bura's poetry has those
rare qualities of honesty and artistry. His
finest poems are written from the heart and
edited by the brain (what?). Bura's centre of
experience is so unique that these poems deserve
our fullest attention, not only for their deeply
moving qualities but also for their
craftsmanship. He is a communicator of the highest order."
JOHN RICE - Poet and
Storyteller.
Former Literature Officer for
South East Arts.
"How deeply your poems touched me. Reading the
poems used to transport me to
another place but hearing your voice just
about blew me off of my space."
Rachna Congdon, Kent.
“I just sat back and let his voice do the work. I’ve never heard anything like it.
I could listen to him over and over again.”
Jane Crumpton. Wales.
“When I was asked to review AN HOUR OF PAUL BURA I thought: God, yet another poet.
I was glued, the hour just was not enough.”

“I’ve heard many poets in my time but the way he gets though to people is unbelievable.”
Trevor Troutbridge, Sittingbourne, Kent.
“A very funny yet moving man. He makes you laugh AND cry.”
John Webster. KENTISH EXPRESS.
“It’s his expression of his work and that of the Christy Brown poems. Superb.”
