A memorable first collection of poetry
by Louise J Hastings
I finished reading this collection some time ago, but its impressions have lasted; the romantic and lyrical feel of Louise' poetry is as undeniable as it is unforgettable.
Intelligent, engaging, gentle, honest, sympathetic, empathetic and laden with poignancy, in her first collection of poetry, Hastings' reveals no uncertain confidence and maturity in her delivery. She possesses an acute awareness of her environment, which, along with an...more

A good first anthology by poet Louise Hastings. She enjoys the economy of phrasing, short lines, and breezy small poems. I look forward to her developing her ear for more tangible, more concrete images that would help anchor her flights into abstract concepts.
The words that spill from Louise's pen will move you! She has a way of conveying thought and feeling unlike any other modern day poet I've read in a while. Her poetry may very well change you.
Louise Hastings and "raw emotion" are synonymous in her debut collection "Phases of the Moon." Her experiences, her voice, her strengths, and hopes all shine, as she goes deep inside herself to find what appeals to her readers senses, both emotional and tactile. Read this one and add it to your collection to read again and again.
I read this lovely volume of poetry slowly because I wanted to savour it. Reading each poem is like visiting another world. I have every intention of reading it again, letting myself fall into its melodic language. I truly loved it and recommend it highly.
