Celebrating the tension between what we imagine and what we know the world to be, Susan Leslie Moore\'s debut collection moves between certainty and doubt, dead seriousness and determined playfulness.
Moore\'s work has appeared in such outlets as Poetry Northwest, Willow Springs, New York Quarterly, and Quick Fiction, and she is coeditor of Alive at the Center: Contemporary Poems from the Pacific Northwest..
About the Author SUSAN Leslie Moore is a Portland-based poet and the director of programs for writers at Literary Arts.
As Moore writes, "If I can\'t be singular / in purpose, let me be quietly adrift," but these are not quiet poems.
Exploring identity and the exterior and interior selves we create through the natural world, language, and relationships, the poems of That Place Where You Opened Your Hands bring the ordinary rhythms of life and motherhood into coexistence with wilder truths.
