Reviews

[Jerome Berglund · Rating 5 out of 5]

Moore's grimmest, most intense collection of poetry to date!

Poet Christopher Moore's exciting new book of poems explores the challenges of being an academic inhabiting a sometimes reactionary setting, and is testament to Santayana's contention regarding those who fail to remember the past being condemned to repeat it. It contains some of the most memorable passages and thrilling imagery he has ever written and is highly worth picking up and perusing thoughtfully.

This is to dark for me!

I thought that was by another author. So I decided to read it but found it to be very dark and I really didn't like it at all.
