description: Although many of Moss's poems discuss race and gender, these subjects are, explains scholar Langdon Hammer, simply "starting points for her work...her poetry makes such facts of identity seem unfamiliar, their meanings not to be predicted, unavailable to the naked eye." Known for startling metaphors and vivid imagery, Moss's work demonstrates an expansive imagination that seeks to connect at times wildly disparate subjects.
