Brian Moses (born 1950) is an English poet, percussionist and picture book writer.
His poetry books and anthologies for Macmillan have sold in excess of 1 million copies.
[2] Moses was asked by CBBC to write a poem for the Queen's 80th birthday.
He is also founder and co-director of a national Able Writers' Scheme administered by Authors Abroad.
[5] That original musical influence can still be heard in his work; he performs so that pauses, tone of voice and speed become a central part of the poem, such as the hiss in "The Snake Hotel" or the Tom Waits growl in "Walking with my Iguana".
