" Daniel shows, indeed, a range of finished achievement. There are some excellent poems here-such as the beautiful “Opus 75”, for that neglected master Samuel Menashe, underivatively echoic of the older poet’s manner and characteristic subject, or the powerful, poised elegy on the fine jazz singer Susannah McCorkle after her suicide in 2001. Very different in tone, but equally accomplished, are the witty (and pointed quatrains) of “White on Rice”-the Rice being Condoleeza Rice. Amongst a number of assured love poems is “Light and Line and Lightness”, a minor masterpiece of affirmative tenderness. Moran’s is a distinctive American voice which deserves an attentive hearing. " -Elizabeth Heywood, "Looking for the
Uncertain Past is a pleasurable collection to read, because it
affords an ease of intimacy with the poet, sharing the everyday
irony, fun and sadness, pleasure and pain of being. In the American
tradition of poets, these poems offer the naturalness of Whitman's
diction, wed with the economy of Dickinson¹s lyricism, Moran's poems
speak of a poetic awe of reality, informed by intelligent
observation." -Daniela Gioseffi |
