Pam Ayres is a proper poet,whose wistful,funny,and perceptive verse captures both the joy and unfairness of lifeOne of the fastest selling tickets at the Fringe,Pam Ayres'appeal seems undiminishedPam Ayres is a poet for the people. Her verse portrays a wicked sense of humour,and deals with subjects not normally thought to be worthy of poetryPam Ayres,the bestselling poet,writes as rhapsodically about the Wonderbra as Wordsworth did about daffodilsThere are clear comparisons between Pam and Sir John Betjeman
