Convergence: A Neighborhood

Harry Moore's ars poetica is abundantly clear in every line he writes, but in his poem "Trees" he lays it out for us directly. Poets, he says, have to lay their hands on, they have to look, they have to feel, they have to name, and, ultimately, they have to see. Through the incisive images of the poems in this collection, Moore does indeed see the world deep down, celebrating its glorious convergencies. Grace and vision, I think, mark every single one of these poems.
