George Moore, Ph.D.

As a writer, I have always found literature and writing to be complementary aspects of one desire. That desire is to create for myself a place in a world that can encompass an ever-expanding understanding of human experience and
community. In my own college years and after, I had the chance to travel widely through Europe, Asia and South America, seeing and writing about the cultures and societies that somehow always reflected back on my own. I think these experiences enhanced my formal education, and sparked my desire not only to see the world but to express it. I now teach both American Literature and Creative Writing here at the University of Colorado , where I received my Master's and Ph.D. in English. As a poet, essayist, critic and screenwriter, my work today continues to explore what I see as a most vital connection between the natural and human worlds. I still travel when I can, and I spend much of my time out-of-doors, hiking, skiing, mountain biking and adventuring through what remains of the remote regions of the west and greater North America .
