The House Of Nobody Home

What we keep hidden. / The gape we leave for it to slip through. Nancy Carol Moody's second collection of poems is rich with the contradictions inherent in the living of a full and human life. The House of Nobody Home is a conversation with self and the world, a safe-house for the smallest or largest interrogation of what is familiar or unknown or unknowable. Moody draws us into an existence fraught with precariousness--"Right now your feet could be straddling a fault line"--not to instill fear of the unnamed, but to bring into light that which has been present all along--"It stood here all this time, / waiting, as it was bound to wait." Employing language as exacting as it is humane, The House of Nobody Home is a truth-telling, yet hopeful, exploration into our deepest selves.
