A Semblance: Selected and New Poems (1975-2007) is the first
selected compilation of poetry by Laura Moriarty. Drawn from her
previous poetry collections and including new work, this selected
demonstrates Moriarty's ability to make each lyric phrase into a
portal where we find ourselves turning at once in two
directions--backward, to probe the newly exposed limits in our old
ways of understanding, and forward to experience a more evolved and
involved attention to our world through the animated potentials she
offers us. Whether examining the historically gendered gaze of art
or of culture's narratives and their impact upon the individual, or
the symmetries that interlink to figure our social and political
horizons, or the destructive forces that both expose and explode
our meaning of self, Moriarty's poems offer the expansive pleasure
of revelation in each finely distilled articulation. This selected
includes an introduction by the esteemed poet Norma Cole, whose
awards include a recent Foundation for Contemporary Arts Grant.
