About the book: In his signature lucid and wry voice, Moore acknowledges suffering while making room for joy and for moments of peace. Enter is a collection of thoughtful meditations on hope at a moment when hope seems farfetched, when humanity is faced with the inevitability of being ‘grazed upon by earth.” Yet Jim Moore finds the joy, he writes of shyness and the bells of a church resounding, of counting hours: “I find words. I write of love.”
