Comprised of 151, 3-line poems, "Skeleton Costumes", the new book by Thomas Moore, sees the writer's work stripped down to its most raw and effecting form yet. Skinned of any extraneous flesh, the simplicity of the pieces bely their emotional impact and visceral depth. The short stabs and sharp explosions of verse accumulate to create an unconventional and, at times, harrowing narrative. "Skeleton Costumes" investigates fear, lust and an abandonment of moral codes with a terrifying force.
