"Trev Teasdel's totally unique musings, dada surrealist observations and pithy stream of consciousness. There is often a grain of something profound that resonates. He's a word-juggler, verb prancer and a conjurer of imagery that makes you frequently smile or even laugh out loud." Al Savage - Songwriter, Poet and Musician.
"Trev is a riot, so very imaginative and creative; has been all his life! Dedicated to words bringing forth extraordinary images in one's mind!" Maree MacPherson former adjunct professor, Connecticut.
He is a poetry gangsta
Shooting words from the hip
Spouting wine, sending words to sip
He’s got a pen
Inked and loaded
Goaded by Trump
And other misguided
Missiles, he’s riled
Anger undisguised
Its his posse style.
Sarah Boon - Radio Stockton Presenter.

Hushed Secrets of a City: A Symphony of
Poetic Fiction
Invites you into a captivating world where
poetic fiction and lyrics intertwines with the rhythm of life. This collection

connections, and the pursuit of self-discovery, as the author delves into the
essence of rock 'n' roll, the enigma of Shakespeare, and the uncharted
territories of the heart. From the bustling streets to the quiet corners, each
piece reveals the hidden stories that dance amidst the chaos.
