From its beginning, I was compelled by That Place Where You Opened Your Hands’ intriguing intersections, its unpretentious surrealism, lonely wit, plainspoken musicality, and improvisational formalism. I am charmed by this speaker, this ‘animal inside a ghost of those who came before me,’ who takes us with her as she reaches over the threshold of the self’s interiority into a numinous natural world.”—Diane Seuss, author of Still Life with Two Dead Peacocks and a Girl: Poems

“Moore is unafraid of rhyme’s song, of poetry’s brazen scales, of wanting to leave her life in order to see more, more widely. She wants to hover above; she practices a deadpan forthrightness and a prayerlike incantation. This is a wondrous book that leaves us understanding we must continue where it begins.”—Dara Wier, Juniper Prize for Poetry judge and author of You Good Thing
