Voices in my Head by Terence Moore is an accessible and moving selection of sonnets, villanelles and lyrics charting one man’s experience of living and loving, of hiding and revealing self, of communicating and not, of ageing and nudging up to death. Terence Moore was brought up in Horsham. After two years as a miner, he read English at Trinity College, Cambridge. After graduating he became an apprentice bookbinder then taught English to speakers of other languages at Baroness Wangenheim’s school in Oxford. In his thirties he read linguistics for a Ph.D. at UCLA, where the focus was on Chomsky’s ideas on universal grammar. He stayed on as an Assistant Professor of Linguistics, then returned to England, to Essex University, then the Department of Linguistics, Cambridge. He is a Fellow of Clare College. When not writing poetry he works on John Locke and has published a number of ‘conversations’ with Locke on language, truth and meaning.
