Lorrie Moore (born Marie Lorena Moore; January 13, 1957) is an American fiction writer known mainly for her humorous and poignant short stories.
Marie Lorena Moore was born in Glens Falls, New York, and nicknamed "Lorrie" by her parents. She attended St. Lawrence University. At 19, she won Seventeen magazine's fiction contest. After graduating from St. Lawrence, she moved to Manhattan and worked as a paralegal for two years.
In 1980, Moore enrolled in Cornell University's M.F.A. program, where she was taught by Alison Lurie. Upon graduation from Cornell, Moore was encouraged by a teacher to contact agent Melanie Jackson. Jackson sold her collection, Self-Help, composed almost entirely of stories from her master's thesis, to Knopf in 1983.
Her short story collections are Self-Help (1985), Like Life, the New York Times bestseller Birds of America, and Bark. She has contributed to The Paris Review. Her first story to appear in The New Yorker, "You're Ugly, Too," was later included in The Best American Short Stories of the Century, edited by John Updike. Another story, "People Like That Are the Only People Here," also published in The New Yorker, was reprinted in the 1998 edition of the annual collection The Best American Short Stories; the tale of a young child falling sick, the piece was loosely patterned on events in Moore's own life. The story was also included in the 2005 anthology Children Playing Before a Statue of Hercules, edited by David Sedaris.

Ever since and always waiting
lost the chance to do what we never did
We'll curse ourselves for hesitating
but, nevermore let fear forbid
Because, maybe we were
closer than we think
Still, no one touched
and the suspense was killing me
It was only love, only lust,
only innocence
It was only real, only right,
only wondering if
ever since
Maybe we were hoping things
we couldn’t let our mouths admit
Waiting on momentum to get
caught up in the thrill of it
But, funny how that
moment never came
To do what everybody said
would happen anyway
It was only love, only lust,
only innocence
It was only real, only right,
only wondering if
ever since
I heard your back
I’m hoping that we could
go back and take our time
and finally find out why
It was only love, only lust,
only innocence
It was only real, only right,
only wondering if
