George Moore writes: As it happens, I am presently in Portugal on an artist residency, outside of Evora, getting some work done on a new collection of poetry. But I live in Colorado, and teach at the University of Colorado, Boulder.
Much of my work of late has been in collaboration with artists in Europe. I had a showing of poetry and concept art with the French Canadian artist, Mireille Perron, at Can Serrat, Spain, in 2007, and I'm working on another with the Scandinavian textile artist, Hrafnhildur Sigurðardóttir, for an exhibition in Iceland later this year. As might be evident from my recent travels, I'm finding a great deal of vital energy in Europe these days. On the basis of some of the present work, I was recently awarded the Boulder County Arts Alliance fellowship for 2009.
I have published poetry in The Atlantic Monthly, Poetry, North American Review, Orion, Colorado Review, Nimrod, Meridian, Chelsea, Southern Poetry Review, Southwest Review, Chariton Review, and have been nominated four times for a Pushcart Prize. I was a finalist for the 2007 Richard Snyder Memorial Prize, from Ashland Poetry Press, and earlier for The National Poetry Series, The Brittingham Poetry Award, and the Anhinga Poetry Prize. My recent collections are Headhunting (Edwin Mellen, 2002), poems exploring the ritual practices of love and possession, and an e-Books, All Night Card Game in the Back Room of Time (Pulpbits, 2007).
Danse Macabre welcomes George's poetry to our pages, of which more will be seen in coming issues.
