Hospital Book

"HOSPITAL is a harrowing, dazzling, magnificent collection of poems. From its rigorous mapping of the jagged miscommunication that dogs online conversation to its intensive, exquisite search for words precise enough to bear the meaning of an incommunicable sadness, this is a more powerful, brilliant book than I could have imagined." - Dennis Cooper, author of God Jr, The Sluts. "Moore made a striking debut with Surfaces, an edgy suite of poems on yearning, resistance, and beauty. Here he goes magically deeper, hammering his wrists on the door that separates the dead from the living-thin membrane on which this writing inscribes itself like a breath. It's more fluid and persuasive now that it's known tragedy. "Let me know," Moore pleads, "when your body is tired/ So I can run water under every word that/ You say." Even in his sweats he is the most attentive of poets, attentive of sons." - Kevin Killian, author of Shy, and Action Kylie
