Fishing For Mermaids by Mary Ann Moore
$24.00
Between the covers of this lovely volume of poetry you will find …
Ancient Turkey, the Ottawa Valley, the West Coast.
Frida Kahlo, Emily Dickinson, Pablo Neruda.
Odes to the ordinary, words of praise, sorrows revealed.
Colours, textures, and sounds of the everyday.
Honouring ancestors, making peace, embellishing history.
In Fishing for Mermaids, her first full-length book of poems, Mary Ann Moore takes the reader on a sensuous journey of self-discovery: as poet, as woman, as lover in worlds both near and afar. Her poems are earthy, sensuous and intimate, her voice fresh, full of surprises and unexpected humour. Moore, the alchemist, transforms the ingredients of ordinary life, teaching us that we are all shape-shifting, living in this community of reflection and praise. Diana Hayes, author of This is the Moon’s Work

Praise for Fishing for Mermaids
These poems, rich in detail, memory, and grief, also educate and surprise the reader. Every so often they provoke a belly laugh as well. I am grateful to this poetry and this poet.
Christine Lowther, author of My natures, Half-Blood Poems and New Power
What we carry with us in the labyrinth and what we choose to shed ... memories that cling ferociously to the skins, sensual and savoury wanderings of discovery that lead to the prescient centre. This is where Moore's poetry takes us ... with open arms.
Kim Clark, author of Attemptations: Short, Long and Longer Stories and Sit You Waiting
