'Fall of the Rebel Angels is a smorgasbord of tensile images. Brown has linguistic originality and delights in experiments with form, which show best of all his love of language and his willingness to play with music, meaning and the reader's expectations and perceptions.'
POETRY REVIEW

‘Andy Brown is one of our most interesting and exciting younger poets.’ John Burnside

‘These are poems which are, in every way, suffused with light.’ Deryn Rees-Jones

‘Vivid and tangible, there is a real wit that at times makes me laugh out loud, a true learning and, over all, a gentle humanity to these tender-hearted poems that is genuinely moving.’ Lee Harwood

'Each word is selected: plucked like the choicest apple and presented as if we could admire a microcosm of ridges and fibres within it.' Nikki Santilli

‘Smilingly human… A gentle humour pervades, almost Eastern, imbuing the work with humanity and warmth.’ Shearsman

‘The work is full of quietly startling moments.’
