Announcing Richard Moore’s irreverent and funny

SAILING TO OBLIVION 

now available from Light Quarterly Imprints. 

Beginning with a rich parody of William Butler Yeats’s great poem, “Sailing to Byzantium,” Richard Moore demonstrates once again that the spirit of comedy is not just a way to make modern poetry attractive to the common man, but even more importantly, provides the best means, the discipline of mind, with which to solve the emotional dilemmas of the modern age. In poem after poem, Moore wrenches the mind and delights it at the same time. The effect, readers, is exquisite.
 

“...a distinguished poet of many voices, all of them pleasing and intelligent....”—Richard Wilbur

“...work too brilliant, nasty, and enjoyable to disappear...its author is headed for immortality...” —X. J. Kennedy in the Introduction
