The Deepest Blue

by Michelle Moore

Poetry. The poems in THE DEEPEST BLUE reclaim the confessional and assert that it is not the mode or subject that determine a poem's permanence but the quality of the language, the authority of its tone, and the urgency of its obsessions and passions. These dark, brooding poems will appeal to those who have been to the bottom of "the deepest blue."

25 pages, Paperback

About the author

Michelle Moore is a fourth-generation Washington, DC native, definitely a rarity in this day and age. She has a well-documented obsession with travel, television, Frappuccinos, and flamingos. All of these, however, come in a distant second to her love of both writing and teaching. Her days are pretty evenly divided between her classroom, where she teaches elementary special education, and huddling over her laptop at the local Starbucks. What few hours left in the day are spent serving the needs of the household menagerie that currently includes cats (one with cerebellar hypoplasia), chinchillas, a bird, and a geriatric guinea pig. Now that she has achieved her goal of becoming a published author, she's ready to start working toward her second lifelong dream… a flat in Paris and a villa on Grenada.
