Breadcrumbs to Autumn

$20.00

Breadcrumbs to Autumn is a collection of the author’s poetry spanning over a half-century from his early days as a curious, young teenager until his first steps into an autumn awakening. The author’s inquisitive perspective and outlook is far-ranging and on full display in this collection.

Rich with imagery, his poetry contemplates the ever-present natural world, spirituality, discovery, relationships, joy and heartache, recovery, homage, gravity, and optimism for the next journey beyond the horizon. The volume includes personal reflections, innocent wanderings, and a dose of humor scattered across the five decades of writings.

Breadcrumbs to Autumn is organized into five sections, representing each of the decades, and includes a short conclusion. The poems are generally arranged in reverse chronological order, with exceptions, but the looking-backward orientation of the work doesn’t suggest any specific approach to enjoying the book.

The author hopes his poetry touches every reader in a remarkable manner and that the arrangement of the poems and the style of writing make for an easy glide through the verses, like a breezy, roller coaster ride.

Written by Michael Moore

Michael W. Moore is a native of the Birmingham, Alabama metropolitan area and nearby communities. When growing up, he devoted his formative years to escaping outdoors whenever possible to fish, explore the woods, fill empty Mason jars with wriggling creatures, and wade shallow creeks in search of minnows, salamanders, tadpoles, and whatever else couldn’t escape his clutches. He always wondered what was behind the next bend in the creek, how clouds hung together while drifting through a blue sky, and whether he could climb the highest branch of a sycamore tree just to catch one more singing cicada before sundown.

Michael retired in late 2016 from a long career in the health insurance and employee benefits industry. Since his retirement, he has devoted more time to his writing pursuits. This anthology of his poetic works is his third book to be published in the last two years. His two previous books were fiction novels, Twice Upon a Swing in 2019 and The False Detective in 2020.

Michael and his wife Cathy currently live in Hoover, Alabama but enjoy vacations to the mountains, to the beaches along the Gulf coast, and to a nearby lake cabin. They’re especially fond of opportunities to spend more time with friends and family.
