The Writing Life
Between Panic and Desire, soon to be out in paperback (Bison Books, 2010), recently won the 2008 Grub Street National Book Prize in Nonfiction.
Donna Seaman at Booklist says:
“Moore forges a brisk, incisive, funny, sometimes silly, yet stealthily
affecting memoir in essays and skits, a ‘generational autobiography,’
and good candid guy stuff. . . . Each anecdote, piece of pop-culture trivia,
and frankly confessed panic and desire yields a chunk of irony and a sliver
of wisdom.”
My essay work is forthcoming or recently featured in Seattle Review, The Normal School, Black Warrior Review, Fourth Genre, Gulf Coast, Iron Horse, Chautauqua and The Grub Street Free Press.
The Funkadelicious Veerasana Life
Still in Athens, teaching a crop of brilliant undergraduate and stunningly talented graduate students in Ohio University's BA, MA, and PhD in Creative Writing program.
I'm also fully enjoying my second year ensconced in the funkadelicious, hillbilly-hippie center of the locally-grown, locally-consumed, slow-food, goats-are-for-cheese,
artisanal-salsa, our-farmers-market-rules, sub-culture.
Still working on my veerasana pose and riding my Trek bike.
