Description
"Pam Brown's work is fearless, acutely observant, witty and wry. She delights in the curiosities of the everyday, in notational sprezzatura, in the penetrating encapsulation of layers of time, chance and meaning with her twists of lexicon, diction and line break. This is a work of quotidian consternation, breaking through from irony to sheer fondness and painful shadows. She sees askew - and Home by Dark has its own poignant look at decades, bodies, and changes. Pam Brown is a wonderful writer, one of the scintillating wizards of Oz poetry." - Rachel Blau DuPlessis

Person
Pam Brown
1946-2023
Pam Brown spent most of her life working in steel sculpture. Alongside her husband, sculptor Roy Kitchin, she co-founded and ran The Ironbridge Open Air Museum of Steel Sculpture in Coalbrookdale, Shropshire, the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. In the last 20 years, she moved into creating cast iron pieces, both in the USA and at home in the UK and explored digital landscape printmaking.
At the same time, she began writing her semi-autobiographical novel, Rust Never Sleeps, drawing inspiration from her own diaries and experiences navigating the art world. Talking Feet is Pam's second novel.
