The fire you light! The kids attributed to you repeatedly. A few were speaking dramatically like you!! Thanks for what you did for these kids (and do for many others).’

Martin is a wonderfully engaging performer, capturing the imagination of young and old alike and he's without doubt poetry's answer to Bill Bailey.

Tim Smit KBE, Creator/Founder The Eden Project.

I just wanted to thank you personally for your contribution to the Big Green Week. It was indeed a great session!

Jonathon Porritt, Founder Director, Forum for the Future

The audience really loved your green poetry; we’ve had several messages sent via our website to say how much they loved your work.’

Martin’s performance at the Green Apple Awards brought an air of sheer environmental magic to the proceedings. His poetry was funny, enlightening and thoughtful only enhanced by the energetic and compelling way he delivered each poem.

Richard Collins, Green Apple Awards

Thank you for taking the time to come and present at the Gloucestershire 10:10 Awards ceremony. You brought great entertainment to the afternoon.

Kevan Blackadder, Editor, Gloucestershire Echo.

Thanks again for your fabulous performance on Friday night, definitely the star of the show from all the feedback we have received.

Paul Hetherington, Director of Fundraising and Communications, Buglife.

Thank you for moving and inspiring the people of Latitude.

Tania Harrison Arts and Special Events Promoter, Latitude Festival.

Opening and closing the evening with your poems provided just the ‘lift’ we were looking for and standing in the wings it was a pleasure to watch the audience so obviously enthralled by your performance…thank you again for helping to make Green Talk such a success.

Mark Letcher, Director, Climate Works Ltd.

Thank you so much for Green Poems for a Blue Planet. It was just wonderful and a fitting penultimate show for the festival.

Michael Beek, Press and Marketing Officer, Earth Music Festival.

Last night’s frivolity and comedy came in the form of Martin Kiszko, a Bristol based eco-poet. Kiszko was very much in his element at the Big Green Evening event; taking us on a trip through serious topics of biodiversity, the damage of human activity, and dare I say it, the energy derived from excrement! Making these challenges intellectually soluble with comedy was a welcome contrast.

Oliver Lee, Bristol Green Capital.

I had chance to meet Martin at a recent event where he read a few kids poems from his latest book they are fantastic and such fun. I think he realised early on that tap water people are big kids at heart.
