"Dave Wood was inspiring as our Wandering Poet at
Stainsby Festival. If you ever felt poetry wasn't for you, this man can
change your mind. Writing or talking, his one on one poetry sessions are
something special". Tony, Stainsby Festival
"I asked Dave, at very short notice, to write a poem for the naming ceremony of my children who were then 3 and 1. The poem was far more touching than I could have imagined and contained exactly the mix of humour I'd been looking for. My Children are now 17 and 15 and the poem remains framed and read often. I remain very grateful for this lasting treasure in our family"
"If you’re getting married and you want to end the day feeling rather woozy – get Dave Wood to write you a special poem for the occasion (and not just weddings, but for all celebratory moments). He can string verses together standing on his head in sinking sands and come up triumphant. He can knock out words as a blacksmith can knock out horseshoes. Just canter Dave the wordsmith’s way and you’ll be poetically well-shod in a jiffy. Well-worth getting hitched (etc) just for the joy of it!"
"Dave really helped to make our wedding special by writing two beautifully crafted poems for our ceremony. They were precise, personal, quirky and moving. To have specially commissioned poetry was a great way to involve people in our day and gave our ceremony added meaning for our family and friends. Thanks Dave!"
"That's really good, thanks - I think it says it all!!!"
"...Thank you so much for the poem you wrote. It was fascinating to see how you wove all the little details in to produce something special to us alone. It will certainly take it's place with other precious mementoes of a memorable anniversary celebration. Looking forward to another on the next big one!"
“The idea of creating a poem that was personal to my family was unique and special that only my wife and children can really relate to. Dave in essence conducted an interview with me and he extracted all the things that were important and personal to us to enable him to create our piece “Angels Settling”. We amended a couple of drafts of the poem before having it printed and mounted together with some artwork from Emma Fawcett, which was also personally created for us. The end product has immense sentimental value. It is often a huge discussion point when we have friends and family over for dinner and is a constant reminder of the most important years of our lives…so far!''
''I wanted something different as a present for my husband's 40th. A personalised and humourous poem written by Dave provided just that. It was great and a lovely keepsake''
"Thanks for the poem Dave, it is great, says everything it needs to with some lovely phrasing"
