Hugo Williams

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hugo Williams (born 1942) is a British poet. He is the brother of actor Simon Williams and eschewed the family's traditional theatrical past, following instead a literary career. He attended Eton College. He contributes to the "Freelance" column of the Times Literary Supplement. He lives in Camden, and is still waiting to be asked to appear on Desert Island Disks.
