Grounded in nature and the body's knowledge of death, Mary B. Moore's fifth poetry collection queries the divine, evoking its traces in doubt, dread, and awe; in language's music and its ability to make be; in earth's prismatic effulgence and its cataclysm and charism. Inventive in image, metaphor, and wordplay, Moore mourns belief and its loss. Moore's poems are influenced by Elizabeth Bishop and Marianne Moore in their keen eye toward the natural world, and by John Donne, Gerard Manley Hopkins, and Mary Szybist in their ardor to stretch language to address the sacred.
