Claude Moore's second poetry collection dives "right into the middle of things" in order to explore themes of self and lgbtqia+ history in the midst of the current political climate. Powerful and provocative, Moore's work is highly personal, even while hiding behind the mask of their words.

They have two books of poetry—In Response and Cut: En Medias Res—with Parlyaree Press.
