Carolyn Moore is a poet whose lyrics, meditations, and elegies use
language from geology, botany, and mathematics to explore the human
condition. She uses the conventions of contemporary poetry with
confidence, but much of the lyricism comes from a vocabulary from
scientific categories that is not often used. However, these poems share
a deep faith in the power of poetry to connect a life in science, the
complexities of family, recognition of desire and suffering to a passion
for words.--Patricia Spears Jones
Carolyn Moore has published four chapbooks. She now works from the
