About the Author 

Symmetry 
by Laura Moriarty

 

Winning manuscript of the
Gerbode Foundation Awards in Poetry

"Laura Moriarty has unique wit and humor--and perhaps the most perceptive engagement with words that anyone's had for years. They are her pleasure, her resource, her wisdom and company, and she shares them with generous abandon. Here one may finally see that what's said makes a world endlessly, over and over and over. Hers is an abiding delight." --Robert Creeley

"If poems can be profoundly emotional--illuminating the persistently difficult zero of experience--these poems are. Precise, compelling, moving, simple, yet in places skirting the edges of what can be said, the writing in _Symmetry_ feels absolutely necessary. Its toughness, honesty and eyes-open confrontation with the unnameable may make you weep." --Norman Fischer
