For the next three decades, until his death in 1998, he delivered the evening news with integrity, conviction, humor, and flair, making him a fixture in Minnesota living rooms.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAt the end of his weekly news-in-review program, Moore on Sunday (or, as he liked to call it, “Moron Sunday”), Moore often signed off by reciting a poem. These poems, composed by Moore’s son Peter and collected here for the first time, offer a fresh and funny take on the common and not-so-common stuff of our everyday lives. Reminiscent of Ogden Nash and Tom Lehrer, with a dash of Dr. Seuss, Peter Moore’s verse captures the essence of his father’s wit, common sense, honesty, and warmth.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eISBN 0-8166-3432-7Cloth£9.00$12.95\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e120 Pages12 black-and-white photos4 1\/2 x 7 1\/2September\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTranslation inquiries: University of Minnesota Press\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Moore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53615269052796,"sku":"9780816634323","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/missing-cover_5dcaf1c6-150c-430d-977e-0056a93f06ce.jpg?v=1746711433","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/gone-writing","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
