Moore's Splendor turns a keen eye on the human and natural worlds. Through 59 interconnected poems that together weave a layered portrait of a family in transition, Splendor builds a story-of love and loss, death and desire, family of birth and choice-that is as compelling as the language used to tell it. Readers of both prose and poetry will be struck by this nuanced study of the dualities that exist within each of us, and of what we choose to share.

-Jamie Ducharme, TIME magazine staff writer and author of the forthcoming book Big Vape

Laura Rogerson Moore's collection suggests love's power lies in witness. Her poems cull the oldest of narratives to tell the story of four souls who empower one another with the privilege of their own integrity-the realization of their whole and uncorrupted selves-and the grace of that beholding in all its splendor.

-Irshad Manji, Founder, Moral Courage Project

With virtuosic restraint, Moore weaves a lifetime of wonder into 59 short poems, yielding imagery as evocative for what isn't shown as for what is. That's perfect for a story about the unknown. Immersed in its bucolic New England setting, Moore's narrative is equal parts descriptive and introspective-and often both at once. She is a master of her craft.
