Full Description
Arcadia Road includes three long poems - narrative, lyrical, meditative - each as audacious as down-to-earth, each as strange as intimate. Moeckel's trilogy is as rich, lush, and organic as the soil of his Virgina Blue Ridge homestead. In a mode both contemporary and as old as Hesiod, Moeckel sustains a cosmic and earthbound incursion into essential techniques and textures of life. These poems are organic and intimate, revolving around the time, work, grace and struggle of bringing food from field to table.
