Publisher's Synopsis
The poems in this first chapbook from 20 year-old Matthew Moore range from a noir of writing to a drunken debate between three astronauts on the edge of boredom. This collection of eighteen poems questions identities in America and reveals the pulse of hope in the face of all that remains ugly. Rhythmic narratives deliver visual richness and spiritual wholeness. The more subtle voice of the collection poses such dualities as writing poetry for fame or satisfacton and killing for money or love bring about guilt and satisfaction in near equal portions.
