But what if that work is already in English? Moure listens to rhyth...

The Elements is a family book, a thinker's biography in poetry, and a polylingual homage, constructed on a double axis. Poems about and for Moure's late father - accepting his dementia as a real way of thinking "world" and "self" in a struggle against invasive powers - are braced alongside poems invoking the struggle of Galician peasants against the invasion of the armies of Napoleon. It is a book about tenderness, and about The Good, in the f...

TOPICAL THEMES VIA ACCESSIBLE POETRY: Moure uses the energetic medium of poetry to bring forth themes surrounding love and working life and feminism, especially as social discourse on desire, sexuality, and gender grows increasingly relevant.

The Unmemntioable" joins letters that should not be joined. There is, in this word, an act of force. Of devastation. The unmentionable is love, of course. But in Moure's poems, love is bound to a duty: to comprehend what it was that the immigrants would not speak of. Now they are dead, their children and grandchildren know but an anecdotal pastiche of Ukrainian history. On Saskatoon Mountain in Alberta where they settled, only the chatter of t...

Rooted in medieval Galician-Portuguese cantigas, most untranslated before now, Erin Moure's poems take off from the title phrase, literally "the place where falling is made." Also a word for waterfall, "O Cadoiro" opens the "falling-place" that humans inhabit, where poems help heal without necessarily resolving anything. Where many poets tend to disdain the lyric form, Moure embraces it -- returning to its roots, reveling in its beauty, and ex...

In Kapusta, Moure performs this silence on the page and aloud, writing "gesture” and "voice” to explore the relation between responsibility and place, body, memory, sorrow, and sonority. Here, poetry flourishes as a book "beyond the book, ” in a space of performance that starts and stops time. In Little Theatres, Erín Moure's avatar Elisa Sampedrín first spoke about theatre and the need for smallness in order to articulate what is huge. Samped...

"Little Theatres" follows this approach, appearing at a timely crossroads, when we most need our language to come alive again. Like the water imagery that filigrees throug...

This candid and passionate consideration of citizenship viewed through the feminine lens examines borders in language and in the body and explores ways in which nation and community may be reconsidered. These poems pulse, shift, overlap, echo, and capture sensual and political hinges in our social topography. Drawing on puns, shadows, images, charts, and crosswords, Erin Moure's poetic forms belie any settled, safe habitation of the page, exte...
