Like Roads
by Laura Moriarty Poems 1990, 64 pp. $8 ISBN 0-932716-24-5

Family history, classical mythology, the "woman's novel," and male pornography all surface in Laura Moriarty's poems as generative texts of contemporary life in which this writing becomes necessary. In like roads Moriarty "translates" bits of fact and fiction into some of the most stunning and intellectually demanding poems being written today.
"like roads is a sort of propositional travelogue that combines
the literal spatial displacement of the poet with the interior
displacement of language."
Dawn Kolokithas, Poetry Flash
