Devil’s Kitchen is a cornucopia of literary styles. The stories contain interior monolog, dream sequences, and first, second, and third person narrators. In these culturally diverse stories, Roger Moore holds a dialog with his time and his many places. These dialogs take place in Canada, England, France, Mexico, Spain, and Wales. The literary styles include pseudo- autobiography – A Convent Education, Creative Non-fiction – A Letter from My Past, Interior Monolog – Crave More, Magical Realism – Crocodile Tears and Don Benito, ,Science Fiction – Devil’s Kitchen, and Cultural Commentary – Hiraeth. The collection is linked by its exploitation of allusion, elusion, metaphor, poetry, rhythm, and the relationship between poetry and the poet’s Bakhtinian dialog. Several of the stories within this collection have been published or have received awards. Aspiring writers would do well to add Devil’s Kitchen to their bucket list. They will learn a great deal about writing narrative and poetic creativity from the collection.

Poems for the End of Time is a series of metaphysical meditations written while listening to Messiaen’s Quartet for the End of Time. It is followed by Lamentations for Holy Week, a sequence based on the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola, as imitated by Francisco de Quevedo (1601 – 1613) in a series of poems composed during Holy Week. This poetry is written from the heart and expresses the authenticity of the poet’s being. Here, the poet indulges in a dialog with his time and place – much in the manner outlined by Mikhail Bakhtin in his theory of Chronotopos. This poetry is not written for the simple minded. Rather it invites the reader to explore the nature of the world, the philosophy of time and place, and the metaphysical exercises necessary to prepare for the inevitable end of time.

Nemo, a young Canadian teacher, orphaned as a baby after the suicide of his single mother, feels mysteriously drawn to Oaxaca, Mexico, the city of the returning dead. He visits the town’s main cathedral only to encounter his adoptive father, a man who had died years earlier. The local witch doctor offers to help Nemo solve the mystery surrounding his birth parents and his past. The shaman gives him a broken medallion and challenges him to find the other half, promising the discovery will reveal the purpose for the young man’s encounter and the reasons for him being called to Oaxaca.
