An outspoken, philosophical, dark and meticulous poet, Timothy Grayson spends equal amounts of time between his home in the red light district of Leicester City and touring European dens of iniquity for 'artistic inspiration'. He is a member of the Decadent Romantics with Steven Silverman and Nathan Lunt, International Representative for the English Poetry Brothel, Literary Editor for FD2D Magazine, Cultural Ambassador for Leicester City and well known for his taste in archaic fashions (often sarcastically referring to Mr. Stephen Fry's praise of his Wilde-like collar as a particular highlight of his literary career).

PRAISE FOR GRAYSON'S WRITTEN WORK
"I enjoyed reading [The Opium Den and the Infamous Nomadica: Part the First] and wish [Mr. Grayson] every success with [his] poetry"
His Grace the Duke of Marlborough
"I thought [the illustrated 'Infernal Madici'] was fascinating. 'Divine Decadence, Darling' as Sally Bowles might have said. An intriguing reworking of fin-de-siecle Paris, [Grayson] seems to be channeling the spirit of Verlaine and Baudelaire through a twenty-first century sensibility. Exquisite illustrations, too"
Catharine Arnold (Necropolis, Bedlam: London and its Mad, City of Sin)
PRAISE FOR THE UK POETRY BROTHEL
"[The Poetry Brothel] has an edge of the illicit, and is a wonderful way to
enliven the performance aspect of poetry"
Independent.
