Kim Moore (poet) - United Kingdom -

“Kim Moore is the most compelling poet under review because she is least afraid of the dark sounds speaking through her. She welcomes and invokes duende: the unworldly and worldly occupy the same verbal space. Her poetry is always out of the ordinary yet unshowy despite (or because of) her expert and subtle handling of line and form. The result: a balanced arrangement of wild gift and mindful shaping. Moore is also the poet most likely to communicate to people who do not read poetry – yet her work is in no way simple or charming. Much promise yielded, much beckoning for the future.”

David Morley

“Brave, unflinching and memorable, Kim Moore’s ‘How I Abandoned My Body To His Keeping’ is a sequence everyone should read. The Art of Falling is an impressive debut from a writer whose skill is matched by her compassion and wit”

Helen Mort

“These are terrifically assured poems – sensual, perceptive, entertaining – which bridge the gap between feeling and utterance with a genuine lyric gift”

Carol Ann Duffy
