Not only Rust and Weeds but the sharp blade and uncommon blossom of ordered, plain-spoken verse; Moyer's poems grow more glorious in tone and color in this new ( his fourth ) collection. He is a warrior. In this collection his aesthetic muscle begins to show. -Kevin Rabas, Poet Laureate of Kansas, 2017-2019, On Drums Kerry Moyer is at his best when writing about the everyday subjects that are part of his soul. Through his poems, you can experience long rides on gravel roads deep in the Flint Hills, the sting surrounding loss of people and places, and the deep love and loyalty he has for his family. Moyer's poetry is rooted in a landscape familiar to many rural Kansans, and it is easy to see through his well-placed images how this landscape has touched him throughout his life. In Rust and Weeds, Kerry Moyer firmly establishes himself as a dirt road poet, a poet for all of us who call the dirt roads and prairies of Kansas home. -Lindsey Bartlett, Vacant Childhood Kerry Moyer is a poet with a young heart and an old soul who celebrates his beloved Kansas and the people who make it special.
