style was raw and druggy, with sexual innuendos, often compared to William S. Burroughs. <blockquote> "...Moon's poems are authentic photographs of written experience as a kind of sustained ecstatic fictional, (auto)biographical experience. Moon sort of milks an orgasm in his best poems, and leaves the technique floundering for a philosophy. His work contains none of the moral/linguistic imperatives of Bernstein, nor the violent ejaculations of Burroughs, and in its own right becomes a poem distinctly his own." – by Elazar from a preface to ARC 15 – Journal of the Israel Association of Writers in English'</blockquote> In 1997, Moon published his first book of titled Word Felon, a collection of poems from 1992–1996 which he had been performing with. The poetic style of Felon, was language deconstruction, broken rhymes and freestyles, inspired by his growing up in the rap culture of 1980s New York City. Most of the poems' dealt with a dark portrayal of underground big city culture, drugs, sex and personal alienation, through the eyes of a lost boy. After Word Felon, Moon focused on mixed-media art experiments; combining art, photography, graphic design and poetry. These works would finally see light in 2002 under the project title: Phoetry, Moon's coining for Photo & Poetry.Phoetry was published as a book which coincided with an art exhibition of the same name. The book contained poems and their visual interpretations, in the form of photographs, graphic designs and sketches. The exhibition ran in two galleries in Tel Aviv from 2002 through 2003, and it featured "blow-ups" of the visuals in the book. Phoetry''' found Moon more mature and reconciled, the poems were colored with love, relationship and a newfound affection of nature. Moon's poems and translations have been featured in several publications around the world.
