Ohio Northern University professor publishes book of poetry

Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, September 16, 2015

Jennifer Moore, Ohio Northern University assistant professor of English, has had her collection of poems, “Veronica Maneuvers,” published by the University of Akron Press.

One critic of Moore’s new release said, “Each poem is a flammable mouth that refuses to be muzzled. Dazzling and dislocating the reader with ventriloquism, vaudevillian gowns, and sword swallowing, the book’s arresting tone is established by its torero title and first line – ‘In the Year of Our Lord the Electric Chair.’”

Another critic said, “This poet incises language with passion, not dispassion, until breath and pulse coalesce.”
