We do not sleep under a full moon

Comprising four sections to mark distinct phases, from childhood and early adulthood, through the course of a thirty year marriage, to the loss of both parents and the ordinariness of middle-age, We Do Not Sleep Under a Full Moon is a collection of free verse poems the scope of which may be more ambitious than seems possible. But each poem’s spare and fine detail attempts to communicate the ineffably fleeting yet somehow permanent moments of understanding and observation that, amidst all that is ephemeral, may serve as witness to the writer’s very real and concrete business of living as time, people and events pass her by.M.F.A.Poems.by Amy Scanlan O'Hear
