'Crowe knows just how much to give and how much to hold back, offering fleeting glances and sometimes strange images... These are sinewy, questing poems, alive with memory and attentive to the interior landscape.' PBS selectors on Figure in a Landscape 'Words which come to mind when reading Anna Crowe’s wonderful poetry are ’honest’, ’affectionate’, ’elegiac’, ’skilful’, ’natural’, ’lucid’. Douglas Dunn on Punk with Dulcimer With their inviting blend of elegance and musicality, and captivating breadth of cultural reference, Anna Crowe’s poems offer an illuminating insight into the marvels of and uncanny links between the natural world and its creatures, and the shifts of light and shade in our own lives – most touchingly, when vulnerable and bereft. Not on the Side of the Gods, constantly demanding a pause for reflection or gasp of wonderment, is both celebratory and – as in the opening poem, “The Gecko” – imbued with a heart-stopping tenderness and sense of loss. Stewart ConnI read Not On The Side Of The Gods with growing admiration. It was like wandering through a fabulous living museum, filled with places and plants, birds and other creatures and, often, most movingly, with the people they call to mind. Anna Crowe does exactly what the caddis-fly larva does in her poem, ’Jeweller in the Galerie Électra, Paris’ - building for each vulnerable creature a house of jewelled words. What I came away with was not just the richness and precision of her descriptions but a cornucopia of sounds, not least the wonderful music of her voice.. Vicki Feaver
