Author Description

Here are 36 poems from a new voice, presented before us all fuzzy and full of wonder, like a newborn babe. Moses Ma's first book of poems captures the beauty of everyday life with open eyes and startling honesty, integrating imagery from pursuits as diverse as quantum physics, tantra, Internet technology and Zen Buddhism. In this remarkable set of poems, the poet moves adroitly from reckless love to primal sex to bittersweet remorse and back again. Includes the long poem, "Ode to Shiva, The Destroyer: Patron Saint of Videogames," written at the end of a tenure as an acclaimed videogame designer.
