Full Worm Moon

Arts & Literature

“‘What if the beautiful day is over?’ wonders Julie Moore in her shattering new collection, Full Worm Moon. And indeed, poems about the end of a marriage wring the reader. . . These poems are rich with empathy for all living creatures, especially the exploited and abused. It’s not hard to imagine Jesus striding through the cow pastures and Little League stadiums of Moore’s poems. Amidst the world’s disarray, Moore’s playful wit and exultant language ultimately proclaim the persistence of tenderness, peace, and love.”
