BIO
Biography

Meet Roger Moore: He writes, above all, about the people who influence his existence. Drawing upon a self developed philosophy combining phenomenology and existentialism, Roger seeks to understand human experience, and the way things present themselves, to our lives, through these experiences.
A courageous and curious explorer of human experience, Roger's creative writing gives us vivid verbal photos; snapshots of where he has been, and what he has experienced. His sharp tongue and neat sense of humor paint us pictures in which we can see ourselves, and understand others, how they exist, cope, love and struggle, in this world.

In his own words - 

"All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small...” and that is how I rethink my life after retirement: the sweep of the sun over rock and sand, low tide at Wolfe Point in Fundy National Park on the Bay of Fundy, an early bee on the chives in the garden, the sun setting over the wood lot. There is just so much to see and do. 

I wonder sometimes how I survived in that earlier life, clad in my grey concrete suits, embalmed behind my desk, entombed in my office, far from woods and waves, from the sea-spray on my face, from the wind in my hair. It is the small things that come back to haunt me: light falling on a flower, storks in Avila jumping as they catch the wind and learn to fly, lilies on a beaver pond, a woodpecker on the Mountain Ash, a cormorant leaving the water, so many tiny snippets of memory clutching and clinging....

And remember:    "The unlived life is not worth examining."
Roger Moore.
