'Ken writes with remarkable clarity. His poems achieve the memorable resolution of a Robert Doisneau photograph and his subjects are unusual and arresting. In simple language he shapes a poem that is distinctly his own. Poetry with the genuine feel of inevitability.'
The Penniless Press, 2004'This is sassy, vibrant, streetwise poetry that cuts to the chase with verve and wit, fully engaged in the realities and surrealities of urban living, in the complexities of relationships… Acutely observed, these poems are sensually engaging and likeable, like spending an evening with a good friend over a bottle of crisp wine.'
The Frogmore Papers, 2005'…takes the reader on a roller coaster of experience. Personal favourites are the beautifully structured Partytime and the reflective Carpet… Cameo Poly features some true gems.'
The Ugly Tree, 2005
'A well-presented collection of breadth and thought showcasing the poet's range …Great stuff.'
The Ugly Tree, 2005'An evident wit and talent are found throughout the poems.'
Envoi, 2003'The romance introspective and blunt - the scenery lavish, explicit and stimulating.'
Krax, 2003
'A beautifully written and poignant story.'
Ronna Wineberg, Bellevue Literary Review, 2006
'In this story Ken Champion provides richly developed characters that contemplate their relationship to Christ, to culture, and to each other. His character, Steve, develops a relatioship with a younger, African student, Thandi Mnede. Even when these characters are together, they are worlds apart, Steve's sense of isolation deriving from his intellectualized disbelief in faith.'
Monica K Mankin, The Literary Magazine Review, University of Wisconsin, 2006
'I found some beautiful writing here.'
Susie Reynolds, Chimera Magazine, 2006
