New Moon by Half: A Lifetime in Poetry

Drawn from material written over five decades this book brings together a remarkable body of work a lifetime in poetry.Within these pages Scott Oury explores with honesty moments easily overlooked and those difficult to ignore: family love the human connection with the natural world and beyond an unoccupied space a chance meeting in an airport a forgotten wristwatch--and other instances of unexpected beauty. In the words of the author All of it and much more--whatever captured my eye or ear and stirred feeling--got put into words.Evocative lyric and intimate these poems celebrate the grace found in the mundane the painful and the overlooked forging a new way of seeing for both writer and reader.
