At 95 years old, Stanley Moss, winner of the 2016 National Jewish Book Award for Poetry, is writing some of the best poems of his life. Here are new poems written in 2018 through early 2020 and some rediscovered earlier poems never-before published. Death is ugly, to hold Christ' s dying for all of us is beautiful. I believe in the nothingness of everything--crumbs ashes, the date, dust, under a female moon. I consider notes, words, pigments, rocks have a certain significance. Bet your life creation is inconsequential. I read Goethe for beautiful meanings. Seeing one painting, he wrote, changed his life. What can one person do? Damn proximity, compose before you decompose, shout help! help! in the ear of Moses, make a hero of an ant in a wild rose. --from "A Shout" in Act V Scene 1
Born in New York City, STANLEY MOSS was educated at Trinity College and Yale University. He has been writing poetry for over a half-century. In addition, Moss is a private art dealer specializing in Italian and Spanish old masters, as well as the publisher and editor of The Sheep Meadow Press, a non-profit publishing house devoted to poetry. Moss lives in Clintondale and River Corners, New York.
