What they say:
about FAR FROM HOME:
"...certainly a talented
writer..."
"The voice here is confident even in experiment, and
manages to avoid sentimentality and typicality
altogether."
"...poems which express emotional
complexities..."
Dr
J D Ballam, New British Poetry,
SUITE
101
“...poems with a light
touch...”
poems “About family and personal relationships
embedded in countryside descriptions”
“She deserves to become better
known.”
Sally Evans, POETRY SCOTLAND - more here
“An interesting delicacy and
mystique...”
a “strange pull and counter-pull of attraction
to the past and the running away from it.”
Eric
Ratcliffe, NEW HOPE INTERNATIONAL - more here
Moffatt “...explores and searches for the
pastoral on the fringes of the urban, whether in Mexico, bonny Scotland or
Ireland, but there are poems on other themes
too.”
BOOKS IRELAND
about ALONG THE COAST (published in Crannog 18):
“...Deborah Moffat’s haunting, sad but
excellently-crafted ‘Along the Coast’ marks her as a promising and
unafraid new poet. She has a collection due from Lapwing Press: 'All along the
coast the young men lie in lonely rooms Listening for the welcoming sighs of
women lying alone . . .' ”
Kiosque, THE WESTERN WRITER'S
CENTRE
about THE SCHOOL TEACHER’S WIFE (published in Oasis
110):
“...the beautifully sombre three sections from
'The School Teacher’s Wife'...which feels like a myth, something grown
over time in a landscape rather than something written by an
individual--disturbing, erotic and loaded with mute violence...a physically
affective lyric.”
Andrew
Jordan, 10th MUSE
about DEBORAH MOFFATT, musician:
“Deborah has a clear attractive voice, a
lively personality, and a snappy way with a
guitar.”
ST
ANDREWS CITIZEN (1983!)
