Description
A celebration of the moon, of life and of love from one of Australia’s most acclaimed authors. By turns romantic and realist, Bruce Pascoe explores the urgency of the contemporary climate crisis and the need to love Country in his haunting, slow-burning and classical poetry style.
This is startlingly vulnerable poetry to heal the earth, to navigate heartache, to provoke stillness and introspection.
