Make for Higher Ground (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798509619205)

In Make for Higher Ground, Diane Lee Moomey exudes a quiet bemusement and tender buoyancy as she meditates on lasting and ephemeral relationships, both human and elemental. With a delicious assortment of meters and forms-not unlike the mango, figs, grapes and cheeses of "Pandemic Picnic, a proposal"-Moomey delights and nourishes readers with her camellia petals, tide pools, purple gloves, red canoe, "whistle/of blackbirds and of train." Truly, all of the poems in Make for Higher Ground illuminate and inspire us.
--Kathleen McClung, author of A Juror Must Fold in on Herself and Temporary Kin

Diane Lee Moomey moves through a poem, as often as not, through a kind of meandering, a seemingly casual process of observation that builds on itself until it blossoms, revealing itself as the gift of a passionate heart, cool mind, and keen eye. The work of a serious and riveting visual artist as well as a poet, Moomey's poems are endowed with a rich, varied experience of life and a capacious imagination.
--Annie Finch, author of SPELLS.
