Now, for the first time, many of his works appear together in one eclectic, thought-provoking volume: \u003ci\u003eConfessions of a Pentecostal Buddhist\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs the title suggests, some of the twenty-three poems in the collection center on spiritual themes such as meditation, childhood experiences with organized religion, and family members' beliefs. Others tackle topics as diverse as nature, death, love, EKGs, and frogging. Some are deeply personal and addressed to people in Moore's life, while others focus on universal concerns that have the power to widen chasms between people or bring them together.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBy turns sensual and reflective, plaintive and passionate, the poems showcase Moore's virtuosic ability to conjure a mood through vivid imagery and striking metaphor. Narrated from a multitude of viewpoints-the husband's, male lover's, abused son's, estranged father's, addict's-the disparate voices combine to produce the effect of speaking in tongues.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor Moore, writing poetry is cathartic, and the poems gathered here are intended to help others break down real and imagined walls around religion, gender, and sexual identity while revealing the healing and hurtful power of words.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniel Edward Moore\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1540461785\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781540461780\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/04\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 50\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.13d","brand":"Daniel Edward Moore","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48459435704575,"sku":"9781540461780","price":11.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a91bdf4d-3fb7-4832-b374-02815717b0bb.jpg?v=1777409678","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/confessions-of-a-pentecostal-buddhist-daniel-edward-moore-9781540461780","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
