Lent Words

Lent Words is a collection of poems both personal and universal. Delving into themes of light and dark, grief and gratitude, Moore's poems create a space of beauty and welcome. In this, her inaugural chapbook, she brings readers into a world steeped in nature and contemplation. Moore understands the temporal state of our lives and the language we use to navigate it, These words you use / are on borrow. We will /one day give them back / as our tongues turn / to dust and our / lips ash. The poems demonstrate that it is through the visible and tactile that we access the invisible and find meaning.
