So Much to Love, So Much to Lose

Arts & Literature

“In this debut collection, Mary Elizabeth Moore probes love in all its ‘longing, mourning, delighting.’ It’s the love permeating the ‘wild wonder’ of rocks, honeybees, tulips, oceans, and humans, the love moving through the everyday and the transcendent. As we live love, so we must live loss, local and universal. These poems throb with the honesty of brokenness and pain. Yet from devastation emerge beauty, compassion, and liberating hope.”
