by Robert Moore

What happens when Icarus joins the circus, Orestes has trouble with a credit application, and Frankenstein's monster hires a private investigator? In So Rarely in Our Skins, classical and pop culture collide as Robert Moore turns his witty and ironic eye on everything from art history and fairy tales to gender relations and the true meaning of wristwatches.

You'll love this book

I happened to hear this poet read a couple of years ago in Prince Edward Island and I was so impressed I bought his book. The freshness of voice, the skill with which he casts idiosyncratic forms of feeling, and especially the humour I remembered from the reading are all present in these remarkable poems. The range of the work is really quite incredible, ranging from genuinely moving to the playful to the playfully obscure. These poems constitute a blast of fresh air through the stuffy classrooms in which most poets tend to ply their trade. The best poetry I've read (or heard) in ages. Highly recommended.
