The Not Wives by Carley Moore6/29/2023 ![]() ![]() We emailed recently back and forth, her in Maine and me in New York, about writerly obsessions, depression and occasional spots of joy in a pandemic, and making space in art for “the firehose of life.” Read her second novel, Panpocalypse, being released now in serial online format from the Feminist Press. She teaches at NYU and lives with her kid and cat. She’s also hilarious, sexy, and so quick in her leaps of thought and connection that I lose my breath keeping up.Ĭarley Moore is the author of the LAMBDA and Firecracker Award-nominated novel The Not Wives, the essay collection 16 Pills, the poetry chapbook Portal Poem, and the young adult novel The Stalker Chronicles. As a whole, it comprises an unfolding personal and political testament, a reflection of her deep communion with others’ writing, and an endlessly-reiterated conviction that speaking the hard truth is always worth the transformation such an act can bring. Moore’s work is outrageously engaging on so many levels. We’ve shared manuscripts and publishing advice, co-run a reading series, planned and taught together as teachers, and most importantly, cheered each other on. For twenty years now, I’ve read and been read by Carley Moore. ![]()
