"Right now, my Sweetie & I are listening to your poetry CD.
We both think it's utterly wonderful! We listened to
"Awake With A Poem" & "Art Is" about 5 times each -
we enjoy the images and ideas so much. You are a
fabulous storyteller and brilliant painter of poems."
SheLa Morrison, Gabriola Island, B.C. writer

"Mary Ann Moore's poetry is the colour azure,
the tang and taste of freshly cut fruit in a bowl,
the luscious romance of food, the pleasure
of sharp observation. Lifting the daily into lyric
and the exotic into presence, Mary Ann gently guides
listeners to attend more closely to the small and special
surroundings that can simply awake to a poem. She
celebrates her truth as ritual to the emerging Goddess of the senses
and a woman's four seasons. The colours of
her remarkable CD are primary and complementary."
