Unnatural Attachment
ISBN# 0759645981 |
This book incorporates seven years of Moses' poetry from 1994-2001. Irrational bursts of optimism interspersed with one existentialist crises after another makes for a swirling, twisting, maelstrom of verse.
Unnatural Attachment opens with the plaintive cry for terrestrial love with the beautiful poem "Help Me," and ends with the resounding declaration of trust in the inevitable love of God in "I Shall Be Released." In between dances a whirlwind of frenetic verses that are sometimes shocking, sometimes horrifying; other times breathtakingly coy and sweet, but always unforgettable. There is the lyrical perfection of "Silence," the vitriolic rage of "I Hate You," the exploration of psychosis in "I Want To Be Your Poet." Poem after poem: utter chaos reigns, but still there is also a beseeching and unmistakable desire for the promised land of order.
