From the back cover:
"Beaming on Dreamsville is a magical blend of lyrical surprises. I never expected to laugh out loud at 'Death' or tear up at the 'Ways Dogs Stare.' Not only does Moore paint beautifully with words, Beaming on Dreamsville is dramatically enhanced by Moore's wonderful illustrations. I look forward to Beaming on Dreamsville again and again!" Shannon Grissom, artist, TV producer, composer

"Here is a book of graceful poems in which remorseless circumstance is pitted against human passion. Passion and circumstance are poised in a dynamic balance in which love is as strong as death. Hugh knows puma shooting with preachers, mirrored shades in sports cars and the mean-girl post-graduate university environment. In all these realities he offers us America transfigured. Brutality experienced as beauty and beauty's potential lethality acknowledged. Clear eyed about his subjects, and objective about himself, Hugh reveals diverse worlds and invites us in." Nick Lindsay, playwright, principal producer & editor, Tribeca Lab Productions, NY

"I love this collection! Hugh is very gifted with words, and I also admire the artwork which is fabulous!" Kimberly Dawn Neumann, Broadway actress, author of book The Real Reasons Men Commit.
