Oscillating between the intimate and the expansive, Moxley addresses old friends, living and dead, in a series of epistles among more condensed lyric poems. Lacking the exhortation to contentment found in Horace, these poems nevertheless bend toward an Epicurean temperance and resilience amid folly, disappointment, and inevitable loss.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSample Poem: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Sonoma sunlight, \u003cbr\u003eplumper of jammy grapes\u003cbr\u003eclutching dusty hillocks, \u003cbr\u003esparer of area barons' \u003cbr\u003enestled residences, is a \u003cbr\u003eblood-orange ball behind \u003cbr\u003ea curtain of brown ash. \u003cbr\u003eEven the algae in my brother's \u003cbr\u003eswimming pool looks eerily \u003cbr\u003ecrystal in the smoke-filtered light. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJennifer Moxley was born in 1964 and grew up in San Diego, California.
