One of the great literary curios of the 20th century, Save Me the Waltz is the first and only novel by the wife of F. Scott Fitzgerald. During the years when her husband was working on Tender is the Night—which many critics consider his masterpiece—Zelda Fitzgerald was preparing her own story. The novel strangely parallels evens from her husband’s life, throwing a fascinating light on Scott Fitzgerald and his work. In its own right, it is a vivid and moving story—centered upon the confessional of a famous glamour girl of the affluent 1920s and an aspiring ballerina—that captures the spirit of an era.

Set at a writers’ residency in NE Wyoming, these finely crafted poems are candid and accessible. Rooted in decades of journal entries, they probe a painful divorce, love rediscovered and sustained for decades, the tension between youthful faith, doubt, and mature hope. They explore the power and limits of words. Roaming the Big Horn foothills, the poet sustains a journey of internal quest, seeking to reconcile past and present selves. In their cumulative effect, the poems build a narrative of discovery, friendship, hope, and delight in the natural world.

Harry Moore has grabbed a handful of Alabama soil and held it up to the light of memory. In the loam that sifts through his fingers, we intimately know people, places, circumstances that nurture a poet's life, enrich understanding of our own. Bearing the Farm Away is writing courageous, honest, beautiful. 
 James E. Cherry, author of Loose Change 
 These poems are more than nostalgic reminiscences, though that may be the underlying stream in which some of them flow. They are contemplative reflections of a mature poet dazzled and amazed at the changes that have occurred in himself and the circumstances of his life over the span of time. The incidents and people so artfully portrayed in the poems contributed in various ways to make the poet the man he has become. Always clean, clear, and accessible, these poems are full of strong sentiment while skillfully avoiding the muck of sentimentality. Subjects range from historical documentation to domestic anecdote, profile, and scene, all masterfully honed to please both eye and ear. Moore’s command of language is artfully balanced by an open heart and generous spirit. 
 James Miller Robinson, author of The Caterpillars at Saint Bernard and Boca del Río in the Afternoon. 
 Farming life in the rural south, mid-twentieth century is central to these rich poems. For those who know this life, Moore’s memories will take you home in enriching ways. Those who don’t will learn the hard farm and factory life textured with labor, love and a deep faith based on duty. If the book had a subtitle it would be tribute, for grandparents and parents who one day disappear, leaving personal histories and old photos, “smiling as if to dare the world.” Moore’s dreams link a father plowing behind a mule to a grandson clinging to his own father’s leg, joy and grief over time merging in the magic of the poet’s art. The poems take place in the rural South on a planet that circles our sun, a tiny part of a galaxy, home to billions of stars. This knowledge makes the poet’s love for soil, trees, animals, and family that much richer. 
 Bill Brown, author of Elemental and Morning Window

In Broken and Blended, Harry Moore provides a story arc moving from deep and grinding loss toward healing and regeneration, all with the awareness that life is forever in flux. The poems move from knowledge gained in Eden through a painful divorce which leaves the poet "weeping into the light falling heavily /once or twice on the lumpy ground" he cannot see. Subsequent sections address times to "embrace," "heal," "build up," "dance," and finally "a time for peace." We meet the poet's children, his stepchildren, his wife, all portrayed through an honest lens that accommodates the flaws and imperfections of our existence. In the end, the poet assures that, although life is "pending, provisional, tentative," its alchemy works magic-pain, grief, loss coalesce into a fully experienced life and love, remembered on the page.-Nancy Owen Nelson, Author of My Heart Wears No Colors and Portals: A Memoir in VerseIt is easy to praise these poems for their skillful construction, their precise imagery, the way form finds its right way to shape the telling of these stories-but what I respond most directly to is the rich humanity of Moore's vision. Marriages, children, grandchildren, and the process of living a life and aging into some kind of wisdom (or at the very least self-knowledge) make up the subject matter of Broken and Blended, and at the heart of Moore's explorations is what it means to be a man in relationship with others. The imperfect, important work of love shines through, and it gives all of us-however broken or blended or mended-hope.-Jennifer Horne, Alabama Poet Laureate, Author of Bottle Tree, Little Wanderer, and Borrowed LightBroken and Blended offers a fresh, contemporary version of an old, familiar story, with its seasons of loss and gain, joy and sorrow, errancy and renewal. In richly allusive, clear, and conversational language, Harry Moore tells this story of love's transformations with humor, affection and wry self-awareness, from the point of view of a husband, father, step-father, and grandfather who feels deeply and sometimes "'think[s] too much.'" Beautifully and subtly well-crafted, the poems' rhythmic cadences, wordplay, apt metaphors and at times surprising twists draw the reader into this engaging narrator's world and state of mind. Do we control the narrative, or does the story-our biology, gender, raising, circumstance-control us? Broken and Blended implicitly asks these questions, even as it affirms that "We must be able to say what / happened," that "This is how we know."-Susan Luther, Author of Breathing in the Dark, Greatest Hits, and other chapbooks
