Hats Off! to Lenard D. Moore whose new poetry collection, Long Rain, was reviewed in South Florida Poetry Journal. "Reading Lenard Moore’s work one has the feeling of being washed clean, of being given the world, and oneself, afresh," says reviewer Michael Hettich. "These are small poems only in their brevity; they open out to the big world, and continue to resonate long after the book is put down: delicate dances to stir the heart and mind." Also, Moore's haiku "bobbing and bobbing" appears on Charlotte Digregorio's Writer's Blog (November 26, 2021).
