This is My Wonderful Face
"Every face tells a story, and our facial expressions are the words. Facial features come in all sizes, shapes, and forms. Each one is responsible for one (or more!) of the five senses and for making expressions that reflect our emotions. Readers can explore all the different variations in facial features and learn words to describe them, from single and double eyelids to full lips and cleft palate scars to Nubian and button noses. This book celebrates the diversity of beauty in every face—and that's a story worth telling."

"Bodies come in all shapes and sizes. Not one size or shape or type of body is best. Your body is the right body for you, so show it some love. Every body is different, and every one is worth celebrating."

"Clearance Philosophy is a collection of poems about big things, small things, and all the big things hiding in the small things.
Moore-Keish balances the dark realities of Southern history with personal accounts of growing up in it, the complexity of faith and family with the importance of memory in connecting to them, and the gravity of change with the gravity of the unchanging. Clearance Philosophy, in its 'important nonsense,' draws attention to the act of writing poetry, using the craft to disrupt, honor, and remind readers that 'silent things can have poems too.'
Rooted in place, time, and memory, these are poems of human connection. In her lighthearted and conversational tone, Moore-Keish grieves lost innocence. She reveres carrots and cherishes dust. The poems in Clearance Philosophy ache as much as they laugh."
