Petroglyphs at Wedding Rocks and Other Poems

"These poems are wolf-haunted both by actual wolves and, more importantly perhaps, by what wolves represent, the last embodiment of the tragically depleted non-human world. In poem after poem George Moore takes us to the edge of this world in tones that are appropriately somber and elegiac. . . . a quiet and subtle language that steadily engages with and sifts the evidence with the sensitivity and integrity that only the true poet is able to bring to our lives." - from the Introduction by Vern Rutsala

"This is a romantic poetry celebrating the land all of those natural forces which hover and grapple within its lustrous aura, and yet we might also call this a decidedly postromantic poetry because, while the light that lives upon the land is celebrated, the failing of the light is always in the eye of the beholder. A poisonous morbidity is always just out of camera range, announcing itself to our attentive senses. . . . he wants to display portraits of our world as we close it forever." Mandrake Poetry Review
