"Poems in Neon Moons reflect lives that rise above deprivation and suffering, that find joy in their surroundings. Angela Johnson has a well-developed instinct for the transcendent moment and the lyricism to communicate it." - Margaret Bradstock "Angela Johnson's poetry celebrates 'the small personal voice', its insistent pursuit of the unique in the quotidian. Ranging over the realities of poverty, family relationships and love, and probing the connections between humanity and the natural world, these poems often surprise with their poignant, clear-eyed observation." - Louise Wakeling
