About the author

Roger Moore was born on the Gower Peninsula in Wales in 1944. After leaving school, he spent a year in Paris and Santander, Spain, before attending Bristol University, from which he graduated with a Special Honours Degree in Spanish. From 1966 to 1969 he taught and studied at the University of Toronto. After two further years in Spain, he has taught at UNB and St. Thomas universities in Fredericton ever since. Last Year in Paradise, Moore’s first collection of poetry, appeared with Fiddlehead Poetry Books in 1977. Although widely published in England as an undergraduate (he won first prize for poetry at the Stroud Festival of Religious Drama and the Arts in 1962), it was not until 1983 that his poems began to appear in Canadian reviews. In the last two years, however, he has been published by Arc, The Antigonish Review, The Canadian Literary Review, Poetry Canada Review, Poetry Toronto, Pottersfield Portfolio, Quarry, and Waves.
