Reviews:
Leanne Moden is one of the rare treasures of the East of England's poetry scene. She is a breath of fresh air for an art form so often concentrated on oneself, looking around her with a humorous but curious gaze many can't achieve. Her work is both beautiful and dirty, bold and timid, but at all times open, honest and a joy to hear. Hollie McNish, Page to Performance

Leanne Moden is a lemon sherbet of a poet. A sugar candy shell masks sharp, delicious surprises fizzing with wit and offering lots of guilty pleasure. Mark Niel, Milton Keynes Poet Laureate
