Poetry. "The words in the poems in DEAD RECKONING by Todd Moore are not just written words, they are also like primal relics unearthed from an archaeological dig. Every word, every line, every poem is stitched together perfectly, seamlessly--with not a single thread out of place. These poems go much deeper than bone, they speak to the blood in us. Todd Moore delivers yet another amazing collection of poetry that demonstrates beyond a shadow of a doubt what everyone has been whispering for decades: Todd Moore is one of America's most important and influential poets, and he should be read by all"--Lawrence Welsh.

About the author: Todd Moore has had more than one hundred books and chapbooks published since 1976. His spare poetic line is unmistakable and reads like a shattered Hemingway sentence. Moore's epic poem DILLINGER, largely in an unpublished state, has been compared to Melville's Moby Dick and heralded as the archetypal American death wish and the preeminent nightmare epic for the twenty first century. Moore's masterpiece will be published in its entirety by Epic Rites Press--beginning in 2011.
