Poet Sir Stephen Spender wrote that Bill Homewood's poetry is marked by "a controlled carelessness which makes me very envious." Bill is one of a diminishing number of poets who use structure and form. His "handbook for the cocky sonneteer" SONNETS FOR THE GODLY & THE DAMNED was published by Mimosa Books in 2019. Adam Thorpe (novelist and poet) wrote of the book "A skilled poet, Bill Homewood has produced a delightful and slightly irreverent homage to the sonnet form." In WINE & CAKE & CREAM there is a mix of impassioned sonnets and lyric verse on the perennial subjects: Love, Destiny and Time.
