Magnificent Moon

Ashleigh Young’s first book of poems chronicle a decade of her life, glimpses of which have appeared as published poems that are now collected together in this volume. But apart from the already known poems, there are a host of new ones, all of which lend greater weight and resonance to each other. They are tender, complex, and at times restrained, but always with an underlying, burning energy that takes the reader to the edges of emotional experience.
