—excerpt from
the publisher's note:

From start to finish, whether in received or invented forms, Moody tells about the reading "that exposed me to words," and how "sound becomes us, and then/there is the silence." Her language deciphers and discovers. It permits her careful handling of life's common disruptions—the gaps between girls and women, past and present, personal and public, proximate and distant.

Photograph With Girls is an eloquent compendium of our circumstances. This poetry helps us recognize the somewhat broken, the somewhat repaired.
