Publisher's Synopsis
Abandoned Poems - Paul Valery wrote, 'A poem is never finished, only abandoned' - consists of 120 pages of new work written since his 2016 prize-winning book, Almost Complete Poems. The truth is Moss has a unique voice in the history of American poetry. This book is full of invisible life-giving discoveries the reader has almost seen, and you might say Moss has discovered a new continent, a new planet or two - or simply it's fun. There is a final section, 'Apocrypha and Long Abandoned Poems,' which includes early misplaced work never published, and new versions of previously published poems.
