Is its meaning Margot,Moira,Mother,or the mileage between lovers? Zeus the lightning thrower has advised his son of no fame to publish twenty books/of praiseworthy poems/ before getting back to him? Now in Geoff Peterson's latest,an aging Adonis is challenged by an on-again/off-again affair in his annual cycle of four months in transit,four months of frolic with his beloved,and four months of grief and self-appraisal. In the country of Sex & Death,the poet's dilemma remains the age-old riddle: how to occupy two planes of existence at once without upsetting the table. In Moira,everything's a sign pointing to the goddess. In the words of the oracle,?A man cannot help who he loves.' Moira reminds us that to fall in love is to catch the red-eye to the Land of Shadows. ?Peterson is a sensitive with a keen eye for commitment to place,and his Moira Cycle a challenge and not for the faint of heart.' ?Andy Vinca
