Several murders, a stolen and returned guitar, the hardscrabble street-life stories of his students, a complex father/son relationship, and some talk of love and death form the framework of Rat Romeo. Gerald Arthur Moore’s latest collection of high explosive poetry takes us on a motorcycle ride, with sleeves rolled up so you can see old scars.
