Kori Moore

Kori Moore began writing at an early age after relocating from her native state of Iowa to Georgia in the third grade.  She found poetry a paticularlly good way to vent during those awkward teenage years and continues venting even today at thirty five.  She writes not only for the love of the arts but to inspire and encourage.  It is Kori’s belief that you change the world one person at a  time and so if someone comes out a better person for having read her work then that is what it is all about.  She has written just over 2,800 poems in her life and finds her greatest inspiration to be Arthur Rimbaud and Emily Dickinson even though she is 100% original in her own writings.  She attended Liberty University where she studied Theology and now resides in Griffin, Georgia with her husband and little dog Bandit.
