Open Heart Chronicles

With transformative and soul-searching vulnerability, James B. Moore reveals the arc of his lived experience and the story of a man's gradual shift through the many stages of maturity.
Throughout this memorable collection, Moore's poetry always returns to matters of the heart. Some pieces meditate on the loving, supportive partnership Moore has built with his wife. Others explore his gradual realization that life contains moments and experiences that transcend the physical. Finally, in a literal interpretation of the title, Moore writes candidly and humorously about his experiences with life-threatening cardiac illness. Medical professionals have found his descriptions of the power of the healing arts particularly meaningful.
Open Heart Chronicles follows Moore's poetry collection Spirit Unchained (2015).
