Poetry
M. Moore forged a new path in poetry. If you like a challenge in reading poetry and thinking of old words in new phrasing and with a lively twist to the meanings, treat yourself to this truly novel approach. M. Moore lived in the 1920s and wrote poetry for 40 years. What attracts me to her is a friend did a master's thesis on her work, a fine, fine introduction, and I discover the Miss Moore and I share a common passion: baseball. During the 1950s when the NY Yankees reigned supreme in baseball, some of her works deal with names we know and remember. This lady, never an academic but a down to earth writer, caused these baseball greats to live differently in her eyes and in the eyes and mind of her readers. She is absolutely fascinating in how she moves words around and changes the mental furniture for one.
