A Thousand Wings

Kelly Moffett's work has appeared in journals such as Colorado Review, Cincinnati Review, Rattle, and The Laurel Review, and she is the author of a collection of poetry through Cinnamon Press and a chapbook through Dancing Girl Press. She maintains a blog about art and contemplative creativity. She lives in Kentucky and she stayed in Trappist monasteries to complete this book. When she isn't with her family, her pets, or in a monastery, she can be found in the classroom at Northern Kentucky University, near Cincinatti, where she is an Assistant Professor of English. "Moffett wrote these poems during retreats at Trappist monasteries, and they unfold according to the ecclesiastical hours, starting at 3:15 a.m. Don't look for pious reflections, though. . . Lovely work."--Library Journal, Nov. 15, 2014 Read more
