Blood Songs / Poems
A poetry collection centered on prayer, spirituality, and inward searching. It has a plainspoken urgency that tests how far language can reach beyond the everyday.
Work Information
The poems trace the deeper places of inward life.
As a poetry collection by Daniel Abdal-Hayy Moore, the book explores the horizon where religious feeling and personal perception meet. Its tone is gentle, but its emotional core is strong.

"...The look of love death has on its face and in its fathomless eyes as behind the burning irises legions upon legions of angels file up and down a spiraling staircase carrying love-notes and bringing back blessings and reprieves..." I'm really not sure why this particular collection of my poems is called Blood Songs, the title it has had since beginning the first poem of the book written in October of 2000, and though, as with other titles of mine, not necessarily threading a theme throughout, yet the title stands notwithstanding... and so it stands.
