E.B. Moore

E. B. Moore is a metal sculptor turned poet. She published a chapbook, New Eden, A Legacy, then thanks to Grub Street’s Novel Incubator, switched to writing novels. Her first two books: Stones in the Road (Kirkus starred review, ‘One of the Best Books of 2015) and An Unseemly Wife, are dark stories based on her family's Amish roots in Lancaster Pennsylvania. Her third novel Loose in the Bright Fantastic will come out on May 16, 2023, the story of gray-haired Maggie, who, thrilled to escape her children, embarks on a quest to reclaim independence. In Boston’s Public Garden, she wears only a hospital johnny, a mink coat, and her dead husband’s oversized wingtips. From the park, she drifts into her past, taking tea at the Ritz, and on to the South End, invading a party in the house where she'd raised her children. Moore, the mother of three, received fellowships from The MacDowell Colony, Yaddo, and The Vermont Studio Center. She lives with her partner in Scarborough Maine.
