Eating the Light, by Mary Barbara Moore

Eating the Light front cover

In Eating the Light, these new poems of Mary Moore ‘s new poems offer a feast for the reader.  On subjects both natural and human-wrought, her eye is the painter’s: vividly clear.  She creates an appetite for looking and a fulfillment of seeing.   Moore’s perceptions are sensuous, intelligent, and the world in the poems is a world transformed both physically and emotionally.  Her metaphors illuminate and satisfy, and having dined with her, we begin to glow, sated on such delectables. These poems embody a kind of mystical sensitivity to the sources of life:  immediate, continuously perishing, making its considerable mark in these gorgeous lines.
