Diminuendo

<p>From the entangled cosmos to our present quickening calamity the central concern of <em>Diminuendo</em> is the making and unmaking of the world. The poems follow celebration -</p><p><br></p><p>What keeps us   earth   life</p><p><br></p><p>handful of sweet notes   hidden</p><p><br></p><p>thrush</p><p><br></p><p>- with lament -</p><p><br></p><p>               Latecomers</p><p><br></p><p>we believe it was all made</p><p><br></p><p>for us   misunderstand</p><p><br></p><p>the nature of give and take.</p><p><br></p><p>       We live in uncertainty between earth and sky   ever- / cycling despair and hope. Despite - or because of - this foreboding Moore seeks to view the natural world in and of itself beyond its relationship to humans. This work conceives a realm in which distinctions between animate and inanimate diminish and the boundary between physical and spiritual dissolves.</p>
