From the entangled cosmos to our present quickening calamity, the central concern of Diminuendo is the making and unmaking of the world. The poems follow celebration -

What keeps us earth life

handful of sweet notes hidden

thrush

• with lament -

Latecomers

we believe it was all made

for us misunderstand

the nature of give and take.

We live in uncertainty, between earth and sky ever- / cycling despair and hope. Despite - or because of - this foreboding, Moore seeks to view the natural world in and of itself, beyond its relationship to humans. This work conceives a realm in which distinctions between animate and inanimate diminish and the boundary between physical and spiritual dissolves.
