BOOKS
"My writings and collages take integral meaning as they stem
from dreams, ancestral memories and the many voices of Spirit.
Creativity has brought healing and deeper understanding to my life.
If I am not creating, I am stagnating, and a stagnating soul
is a starving soul."

I cannot believe anyone with any degree of perception can read this book
and not be changed by it. Changed, certainly, in the way they see people
who are different,
but also in relation to all that is around them, to time,
life and the universe, and ultimately how they view themselves.

One of the deep pleasures of reading is giving oneself over to a gifted storyteller for the duration of the trip. MariJo Moore eases our transition into her several worlds and then holds us there, willing us to travel roads that are winding, difficult and revelatory. When the Dead Dream may be her masterworka sinuous and stony path where we encounter monsters as well as jewels. It is not for the faint-hearted and not to be missed.

"A collection of stories intertwining many characters and events that have some connection to the Cherokee culture or reservation.
Many social issues are dealt with...
but they are merely props to help the readers see the real subject which is the strength of Cherokee women."

Confessions of a Madwoman
$13.00
Intensity. From “creativity is existence” to “my mind is. . .a wild bird” to “the last fire in hell/ smoldering” to “I want my divided soul to erupt/ dance naked around these stones.” Intensity you can’t avoid! Because it is determination, persistence, struggle and endurance, passion, creative fervor—“fires of creativity”—and exaltation of “how it is to be loved by a madwoman.” I might as well say it is truly an experience to read MariJo Moore’s Confessions of a Madwoman!
Simon J. Ortiz
Author of The Good Rainbow Road and Beyond the Reach of Time and Change
To be a poet is a madness circling one’s soul, a constant companion. Words bring MariJo to this beginning and ending, without hesitation she flies with wings un-fluttered by manmade events...to be true to her words are to live and be.
- Emoke B’Racz Imre Margit lanya, poet, translator of Katalin Ladik
Moore's ancient instincts flash through these poems with a blood thirst for lawless imagination, the madness born of passion, and the indigenous honesty of lovely wilderness creatures.

Please Do Not Touch the Indians
by Joseph A. Dandurand
Award winning Kwalten Indian Poet from British Columbia
published By renegade planets publishing
$12.00
"One wants to admire the play, Please Do Not Touch The Indians, especially for its simultaneous resemblance to age-old folklore and modern, nonlinear theater.
A wily flycatcher, a boatful of singing fish, a two-headed baby, a seductive salmon, and a grandmother beset by prankster grandchildren...these are tales of resourcefulness, harmony, revelation, romance, remembrance...evocations perhaps, of life's synchronicity."
- L.A. Times
"Please Do Not Touch The Indians includes disturbing imagery but also spotlights positive images of love between an American Indian man and woman and between Indian parents
and their children
-as well as the incredible strength Native people have had to develop to survive."

The Boy with a Tree Growing from his Ear & Other Stories
by marijo moore
limited first edition
published By renegade planets publishing
$35.00
“This unique and beautiful collection of stories calls upon the reader to see the
world, and existence, as something much more mysterious, and strange, than we
are accustomed to, or are willing to believe in. Moore's work has always offered this challenge. Here, she tells us, is a book that is "an assemblage that chose its own parts..." The results are stunning. The stories insist that we really look at the power and wonder-and sometimes terror - of a universe that we are only beginning to understand; that we hardly know at all.

and A Broken Flute
“MariJo Moore is a storyteller, relating dreams and memories, hopes and ironies of her mountain heritage. If you listen to her telling you may find her stories become your own, stories you need but had forgotten. For these are stories of the larger community of the imagination, of pain and curiosity, the surprises and satisfaction of our humanity.”
- Robert Morgan
Author of Brave Enemies and Boone: A Biography
"MariJo Moore's magical stories evoke the mystery of the WNC Mountains. Her writing makes you search deep down for something you know is there, but you're not sure you can find...or if you should."
- Leisa Stamey
Branch Manager, Enka/Candler Library, North Carolina
“MariJo Moore's mesmerizing medley of characters, both delightful and disturbing, reach out from the pages and draw you into their worlds; worlds tinged with bitter-sweet southern appeal, woven from the ancient threads of an indigenous storyteller, and painted with a precisely portioned pallet of shades, both dark and light.”
- Amy Krout-Horn
