St. Paul poet's new collection delivers life with a twist

In his new collection "Invisible Strings," St. Paul poet Jim Moore lays out complex human stories in just a few lines.
He says he wanted the poems to deal with subjects often found in poetry: life, love, nature, and sadness. Yet he told Euan Kerr he wanted to deliver them with a twist.
Jim Moore will read at the publication party for his collection "Invisible Strings" tonight at Tuesday night at 7 p.m. at Open Book in Minneapolis.
He will also read at Birchbark Books in Minneapolis on Wednesday, April 13 at 7 p.m., and Micawber's Books in St. Paul on Friday, April 15 at 7 p.m.
