Gary E Moore, after a long career in education, stepped away from teaching during the pandemic and chose to focus on the pursuit of a lifelong passion for poetry and storytelling. During this time, his debut poetry collection, Songs For The Cleveland Avenue Warriors: Songs from the Past, Present and Future, was published by creativeonion Press, and he recently completed SFTCAW: Reality and Fame, his sophomore effort, as well as an Afrofuturist short story collection, The Wayward Home For Retired Superheroes And More Astonishing Tales From The Hood. Moore is most proud to identify himself as a Poet, an Author and a Dad.
