Elspeth Brown's collection, "A Crab in the Moon's Mouth", gathers work created for performance, special occasions as well as representing her deeply felt personal reflections on life, its suffering and joy. Combining a keen eye for detail, a deep understanding of human nature and a love of exuberant language, Elspeth Brown's work offers us a world of honesty, love and openness combined with humour and considerable human courage.

I love these poems for their exuberance and honesty. Elspeth Brown is a wonderful recorder. Whether writing about childhood memory, or a train journey interrupted by mobiles, or the behaviour of orcas, she brings to the experience an originality and clarity of vision that makes her poems vivid and memorable.

Since I first encountered her in Edinburgh's School of Poets I have enjoyed her unique and perceptive outlook on people, places, Green Men, dance, and many other subjects.
