In Ridges, Diane Moore creates a mystical space-a union of art, poetry, biography and nature-that honors her friend Don Thornton's life and his vivid paintings of Louisiana's Chenier Plain.-Rose Anne Raphael, Artist and Writer, New Iberia, Louisiana


Diane Moore's Ridges sings of friendship born from a mutual love of nature and a shared Louisiana landscape. Interspersed with Don Thornton's paintings, these poems resonate with a seasonal rhythm of birth and blossoming, death and decay. They remind us of the actual history of hurricanes in 1856 and 1893, giving us a Louisiana landscape always suffering from nature's threats and menaces. Moore deftly blends natural and human, art and place, in this loving tribute to a fellow artist and friend, seeing in those ridges 'the mud flats of old sufferings.' Bravo to a seasoned poet whose works speak to all that makes us human.-Mary Ann Wilson, Professor Emerita of English, University of Louisiana, Lafayette
