Description
Formal and rhyming poetry paying homage to the delectable rhythms of nature, life, and love
Bewitching, introspective, and infused with the delicate richness of the seasons, this collection of formal and
rhyming verse by author Claire Boyce offers solace, inspiration, and an invitation to engage mindfully with nature and our emotions.
"New Moon" takes readers on an eloquent, sensual journey through the four seasons with one section dedicated to each of nature's diverse forms. From the sheer joy of seeing the first buds emerge on a blustery spring day, to the resplendent power of self-expression, to the pain of a heart that "beats for death like a cadaver's womb," these poems leave no emotional stone unturned, reveling in the gamut of human experience using the cadence of nature's changes as an elegant backdrop.
Readers will find comfort in these works giving voice to complex emotional states that are often not recognized, brushed aside, or even shamed, as well as in poems that simply celebrate each season's unique essence. Many of the poems in "New Moon" are written in formal verse, and often, in iambic tetrameter which is a favorite for Ms. Boyce who has extensively studied formal and rhyming poetry.
Each of the four seasons is accompanied by a full-color image plate of one of Ms. Boyce's vibrant nature paintings.
