Let's Pretend We Never Met realizes the ten-year fixation the late great Roman poet Catullus has had on Nathaniel G. Moore. Catullus becomes filter, lens, judge, subject and object. From the subjective finality of first-person illusory, Let's Pretend We Never Met is a poetic Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. With dramatic pauses, near-novella overtures and biographical necessity Let's Pretend We Never Met cashes in nostalgia for a more bitter and honest currency for today's disposable culture. Like Michael Ondaatje's The Collected Works of Billy the Kidd, Moore's poetry is a obsessed poetic biography, showcasing Moore at the height of his grave shift powers as a romantic pain magnet and exorciser—attempting to Houdini Catullus and himself from regret, depravity, and other histrionic side effects of modern life. With special appearances by Catullus’ agent, Juventius, Rufus, Clodia Metelli and more.
