Boy Who Loved the Moon

The Boy Who Loved the Moon is an exploration of a mothers love. It is a love that transcends what most experience because the respites from reality are so fleeting. Thérèse Corfiatiss narrative poem though acting as a chronicle of her sons journey from birth is in reality a mothers travail. This is a defining journey where the issues and values that confront a parent with a child who is different shape the person and in doing so measure the dimensions of love. The simplicity of this narrative in verse belies the emotional anguish that underlies the journey. When reading these poems the heart bleeds a little but is quickly healed because the author gives you permission to experience her love.
