The Moira Cycle

Is its meaning Margot, Moira, Mother, or the mileage between lovers? Zeus the lightning thrower has advised his son of no fame to publish twenty books/of praiseworthy poems/ before getting back to him

Now in Geoff Petersons latest, an aging Adonis is challenged by an on-again/off-again affair in his annual cycle of four months in transit, four months of frolic with his beloved, and four months of grief and self-appraisal.

In the country of Sex & Death, the poets dilemma remains the age-old riddle: how to occupy two planes of existence at once without upsetting the table. In Moira, everythings a sign pointing to the goddess. In the words of the oracle, A man cannot help who he loves.

Peterson is a sensitive with a keen eye for commitment to place, and his Moira Cycle a challenge and not for the faint of heart. Andy Vinca
