Description

Taking its inspiration from Melville’s famous line “If man will strike, strike through the mask,” Based on Actual Events punches through the surface of visible things, grabbing wild at the drifting actual.

Calling himself a “a realist in fabulist clothing,” Robert Moore gives us a book-length sequence of sleek, fiercely comic, colloquial poems whose aphoristic storytelling is pegged to a nostalgia for sublimity.

His project is to find new frames of reference for our estrangement from the world.

With each burst of invention and stylistic high-spiritedness (“So we reverse engineered the awesome and all we got / was this lousy poesy”), Based on Actual Events adds up to be Moore’s best book yet.
