Reviews:
With respect to In The Green Seascape (Lapwing, 2009)

"…Sue Moules underscores the portraits, memories and close observations of her changing world with a sense of life's brevity, its 'wave/against the shortening beach'. A genuine humanity illuminates (this collection)…"
Paul Henry

"…There is much to admire in these quiet yet vibrant meditations. The poet's ready command of form and language is illuminated by sharp observations…"
Julie Rainsbury
