James A. Moore

James Moore has published eight collections of poems and original art. He has spent his adult life as a resident of Washington State, much of it living off-grid in the remote hills of its North Central region, during which time he has worked as an alternative builder, farmer, climbing and vocational instructor.

Retired and self employed with Opti-Mystic Arts, a fine art and design business, his spiritual and literary influences range from Lao Tzu, Buddha Shakyamuni, Longchenpa, C.G. Jung, Mises, Rothbard and Sowell to Gary Snyder, Robert Hunter, Richard Thompson and Dr. Seuss.
