How does wonder induce change in us, as people and as readers? Paul Moorehead’s poetic voice arrives fully-formed—intriguing, inquiring, and innovating—to address this question.

Green: the colour of growth, the colour of change, the colour of go. Green charges into these themes with precise humour and an intense concentration on poetic craft. Ranging over a variety of subjects from nature and science to parenting and pop culture, these poems challenge the reader to consider the meaning of change in a poetic world that is deeply personal and wildly expansive. Green makes unique poetic use of scientific ideas, considering the consequences both lived and artistic, of existing in a world of wonders.
