Prognosis

Jim Moore’s poems “are chips of reality, obsidian flakes of the heart and mind” (Jane Hirshfield) In his eighth collection, the celebrated poet Jim Moore looks into unrelenting darkness where moments of tenderness and awe illuminate, at times suddenly like lightning in the night, at others, more quietly, as the steady glow of streetlights in a snowstorm. These are poems of both patience and urgency, of necessary attendance and helpless exuberance in the breathing world—something rare in contemporary poetry. Written in Minneapolis amid the COVID-19 pandemic’s masked and distanced loneliness, after the police murder of George Floyd, as an empire comes to an end, Prognosis turns toward the living moment as a surprising source of abundance. Here we find instances of essential human connection animated by a saving grace that pulls us back from depression and despair. Contemplating with playful wisdom what it is to brave the later years of one’s life, Moore revels in the possibilities of joy and mourns the limits of our capacity to greet the unknown with resolve and wonder. The prognosis Moore foresees demands continued stillness, continued movement: “Also known as going home,” he writes. “Also known as getting over yourself.”

By Way of the Wind

New poetry by Jim Moore, who "elevates economy of phrase to an art" (Minneapolis Star Tribune) No, I don't know the way to get there. Two empty suitcases sit in the corner, if that's any kind of clue. --from "Almost Sixty" Brief, jagged, haiku-like, Jim Moore's poems in Invisible Strings observe time moving past us moment by moment. In that accrual, line by line, is the anxiety and acceptance of aging, the mounting losses of friends to death or divorce, the accounting of frequent flyer miles and cups of coffee, and the poet's own process of writing. It is a world of both diminishment and triumphs. Moore has assembled his most emotionally direct and lyrically spare collection, one that amounts to his book of days, seasons, and stark realizations.

Montana author, Jim Moore, teaches many history lessons in his debut novel, Ride the Jawbone, which effectively transports the reader to central Montana's ranching communities and the famous Jawbone Railroad as they were experienced at the turn of the twentieth century. Into this story of a young lawyer, T. C. Bruce, who is asked to defend an odious outcast that the citizens want to hang, author Moore weaves details about the way of life of ranchers and other citizens of that era. Richard A. Harlow employed much persuasion to finance his Montana Railroad from where it linked with the Northern Pacific at Lombard to the Musselshell River Valley. Because of Harlow's ability to accomplish this task on the strength of his jawbone, people called it the Jawbone Railroad. In Jim Moore's novel, the body of a young woman is allegedly thrown from this train after the murder was committed. The accused is a reprehensible trapper whom no established attorney in Montana wants to defend. T. C. Bruce is the son of a rancher who owns a large spread an easy horseback ride away from Two Dot, Montana. T. C. loves ranching and is torn between his father's wish for him to take over the ranch and his mother's insistence that he put his education to use and practice law. When the judge asks him to take on the role of defense attorney in the Jawbone murder case, his father encourages him to do so. Two young women who take an interest in the handsome T. C. add complication to the story.

"Jim Moore writes of history, of love, of pain, of the intimate revelations of a consciousness alive to itself." —C. K. Williams "It's coming so fast," says an old woman across from me, speaking to no one in particular: she nods her head in agreement with herself and strictly speaking who can argue with her? —from "Underground" Jim Moore's first career retrospective shows a poet whittling down experience to its essential confrontation with one's own limitations, whether it be time running short, or understanding running thin, or capacity to think or feel or love enough running low. Underground gathers the best poems from Moore's seven previous books and includes twenty new poems. This is the definitive volume by a poet of great depth and generosity.
