By Linda McCullough Moore People are forever saying, Can I read you my poem? and I say No, my oven’s broken and I have a cold casserole I have to find a fire to heat so I can feed a small village else they starve before night blackens the jungle round them, plus my leg is cramping probably thrombosing, and the phone is ringing with a call I’ve been expecting my whole life. But I wish I could, I like poems (one lie more). I mean to do acts of kindness every day. And I would if the people in my life would stop trying to read their poetry to me. Linda McCullough Moore is the author of two story collections, a novel, an essay collection and more than 350 shorter published works. She is the winner of the Pushcart Prize, as well as winner and finalist for numerous national awards. Her first story collection was endorsed by Alice Munro, and equally as joyous, she frequently hears from readers who write to say her work makes a difference in their lives. For many years, she has mentored award-winning writers of fiction, poetry and memoir. She is currently completing a novel, Time Out of Mind, and a collection of her poetry. www.lindamcculloughmoore.com
