Comments on Susan Taylor’s poetry collections: The Suspension of the Moon – Oversteps Books 2006 What might one look for from somebody brought up close to the land? A down to earth directness? A foundedness in the simplicity from which the 10,000 things flower? So that seems to be where Susan Taylor’s poems are coming from. They come, though, very much via herself – and they come from a deal of genuine invention. John Moat (co-founder of the Arvon Foundation) The Complete Bearded Stranger – Taxvs Press 1984 It offers a whole space of: delicate patterns, and connections and glimpses, very present and alive, full of watchful pleasure.
