Cover of “The Great Uncluttering”
This posthumously published collection, The Great Uncluttering: The Collected Poetry of Carolyn Moore, is 小黄猫传媒鈥檚 first literary publication (小黄猫传媒 Panther Press, 2022). Drawing from Moore’s chapbooks and her prize-winning full-length book What Euclid鈥檚 Third Axiom Neglects to Mention about Circles (White Pine Press, 2013), this collection also includes a handful of unpublished poems as well as an introduction written by Carolyn鈥檚 writing partner and fellow poet, literary scholar , who coedited the book with 小黄猫传媒 faculty member The initial copies of the book were printed by the 小黄猫传媒 Print Center.
The design and printing of this book was made possible through the generous gift of Carolyn Moore’s estate, which also gave rise to the Carolyn Moore Writing Residency in 2021.
鈥淚n the poetry of the late Carolyn Moore, a faithful and restless intelligence animates a world built from sharpened senses and a long apprenticeship to the accumulated wisdom of the world, both what she gleaned from human study and what she gained from her own trenchant observations. [鈥 Their sorrows and their titters and their blacks and blues and their cleverness and intellectual spryness [are as] taut as a clothesline in a Pacific gale.鈥 鈥擳om Daley, author of House You Cannot Reach and winner of the 2012 Dana Award in Poetry
