| Neli Moody is a writer and a lecturer at San Jose State University. After Altamira, published by Ishmael Reed Publishing Company, is her first published collection. The poems address widely diverse subjects with passion and trace our efforts as humans to connect with each other, through words, art and music. They are grounded in the deep and intricate relationship between humans and our planet Earth. Subsequent collections, while varying in theme, find their genesis, too, in nature and the complex processes of growth and decay, love, and loss. |

I am writing lots of poems, awaiting word from various potential publishers. Have sent out a couple of mss. I will be teaching Creative Writing and Composition in the Spring 2010. My essay ""A Syntax of Stones: Pre-Text, Edifice, and the Sacred Space in Richard Berengarten's’ 'Avebury'" will be published by Salt Publications in the UK as part of its Companion text to Richard's work in 2010. That essay will appear in the March 2010 issue of Jacket Magazine. Her poem "Full Worm Moon" will appear in the March issue of the Adirondack Review. |
