We, the prosodic beings

comes from dread about the threats and crimes of our current government, along with an interest in dolls, robots, puppets, and other human adjacent entities. The poem of the same name is part of a book in progress called Even Venus.

Curated by Norma Cole, this installation is being presented at Right Window, 992 Valencia St., San Francisco in April, 2025.

 My book Which Walks is forthcoming from Nightboat Books on July 1of this year. Contact me or the press for advance or review copies.

Which Walks

Nightboat Books, 2025

“We age as we see; we see in our aging all we have done — all we have made, all we have read, everyone we have known — and it’s this seeing that moves us in and through and out beyond the world. Laura Moriarty’s Which Walks proves it. This is a profound and intimate study of being with at a crucial time where many feel without. A book (and a way to love) that we need.” - Renee Gladman

“Moriarty is our intrepid ‘archeologist of the present’ offering this long poem of expansive love to attune our walking, making, and remembering.” - Alli Warren

“‘Where we stand//mindfully outside the universe of words/…suspended in the phantom of equilibrium,’ — and now aware that the stability we once assumed is an illusion. From this strange position (or perhaps superposition) inside and outside the sayable, Moriarty makes language sing. - Rae Armantrout
