Here is what the Director of Cheltenham Poetry Festival said about me:

Zoe Brooks is a charismatic performer of finely crafted poems. Even when reading richly layered, complex work, Zoe always manages to engage a broad audience due her warm and charming personality and her skillful, theatrically trained delivery. 

Anna Saunders

Above is a recording of a reading of my poem The Gypsies in the Room (from Owl Unbound) which was part of the Dialect - Supporting Rural Writers Women's Day celebration.
