Breath of Life - Paperback

Breath of Life is a collection of the works of author and poet LH Moore, whose history- and Afrofuturism-inspired short stories, poetry, and essays move between and blur the lines between horror, science fiction, and fantasy.

In the short story "Roots On Ya," a roots man in rural Virginia has to undo a crossing...and more. A scientist has a harrowing experience as she discovers more than she bargained for in the depths of underwater cave tunnels in "Rule of Thirds." As a symbol of a new country is constructed, all is not what it seems in "With These Hands: A Tale of Uncommon Labour." In the short story "Here, Kitty," a young woman realizes that what is lost is not always meant to be found. As a young woman and her friends come of age, they discover a family legacy that will change them forever in the short story "A Clink of Crystal Glasses Heard." All three of the "Bice'' poems explore The Divine Comedy author Dante Aligheri's obsession with Beatrice-from her biting, unamused point of view.

Find these and more in Breath of Life. With themes of family and identity, rooted solidly in history and imagining the unknown-both here on Earth and beyond-Breath of Life is an exploration of the unexpected.
