Author Dainon Moody is a self-proclaimed wanderer on the fabled
road of life. In The Sound of Scampering, his first collection of
poetry, Moody explores the unique world around him through verse
rich in imagery and sensory detail extracted from his life
experiences over the course of more than twenty years.
While many of Moody's poems cover relatable subjects, such as
lost love, death, friendship, and nature, others offer an engaging,
lighter look at life. He recalls what it is like to ride a runt
calf, travel back in time to visit his newly wed parents, and sell
roadside zucchini. With unguarded honesty, Moody contemplates the
yearnings of his heart, his understandings of love, and his hopes
for his future, ultimately encouraging others to do the same with
their own unfinished lives.
My grandpa went quickly.He forgot his granddaughter's name short
months beforeshe was by his hospital bed, playing hymns for him on
her violin.And, when they laid him in his grave, soldiersshooting
up the air, a folded American flag, my cry was one I hadn't the
time to practice.I lost all strength, some oxygen and timenearby
sisters keeping me from fallingmy chest caving in. It's the first
and last timeI understand the depth of sadnessthat gets forced into
a sob.--from "Three Cries (and None for Help)"
