Each Death Draws Us Closer explores the intense, darker side of erotic love and the depth of emotions that are stirred when passionate love borders on obsession. This is a work of Dark Love Poetry...when a relationship falters or when one feels abused or abandoned by a lover, darker emotions may creep into our thoughts. Despite the pain and sometimes overwhelming feelings within, there is also the reminder that there is always a new life up ahead, a new chance to heal old karmic wounds and reunite in tender love...Dena L Moore explores these emotions through the imagery of Blood, Bones, Crypt, & Sea.

Poetry for a Universal Soul ~ The poetry in Burning Constellations ranges from sweet love to dark desperation. Introspective poetry slips easily into spiritual longings for 'perfect' love and otherworldly ideals (such as Angels and World Peace). History combines with resurrected ideas--now considered New Age in nature--as well as an emphasis on nature, spirituality, and pagan concepts explored through poetry.

(February 2002)
Poetry is pure spiritual emotion brought down to earth from the lofty heights of the human mind. Emotion is the song in our souls; it can be cold or passionate, forgiving or vengeful. Emotion is fluid and changing, and the poetry within Fluidity of Creation flows from the darkest corners of humanity to the outer reaches of the planets and New Age philosophy.
By Keith White, Ph.D. (the University of South Florida St. Petersburg) -
Dena L. Moore's poetry seems to have the ability to change the motions of the stars. Moore rearranges primal thoughts -- much like the gods rearranged the constellations to tell humanity new stories. Such efforts as "Closure" and "Here I lie...Waiting" give us a more intense light to follow when we have lost our way in the darkness. ...
