Hubert Moore

Left-Handers

• Poetry • Paperback

Description:

From reviews of Hubert Moore's last collection, Rolling Stock.

'Hubert Moore's poems in Rolling Stock edge sideways into their often perfectly formed endings. He has a nice line in lines, and surprises with his shifts of gear... from the literal up to the abstract and back down again.’ Times Literary Supplement

'Rolling Stock is a collection which compels through the intensity of the attention it gives to the world and its refusal to take much of it at face value.' The North

Hands from Left-Handers

Never the same
as each other,
anyone’s hands:
the right’s dexterity
and the left’s crass
wronghandedness.
OK, disparity
rules: demands
that, finger to finger,
we rhyme, we half-rhyme.
