Songs of the Wolf and Moon

<p><span>Under moonlight and the watch of winter wolves through spring rain and summer heat these poems follow a year's turning-all its desire solitude and quiet becoming. From the first thaw to the last frost a lesbian Japanese poet traces love's small rituals and the wild answering call of forest tide and sky.</span></p><p><span>Divided into Spring Summer Autumn and Winter the collection gathers moments of body and spirit hunger and return grief and renewal until the year closes like a hand cupping flame-warm certain alive in the dark.</span></p><p></p><p><span>For readers drawn to contemporary queer poetry to minimalist lyric and the intimacy of nature </span><em>Songs of the Wolf and Moon</em><span> offers brief luminous pieces to savor in one sitting or wander back to like a familiar path at dusk. Its themes span sapphic love and longing Japanese place and sensibility wilderness and weather memory and ritual.</span></p>
