The Role of the Moon – review

Here we are already at the end of the second month of 2026! This month I’m sharing my review of D.S. Martin’s latest book of poems, The Role of the Moon.

Paraclete Press (the book’s publisher) has informed me that this book has just won the Gold Medal for Poetry in the 2026 Illumination Christian Book Awards. Congratulations, D.S. Martin!!
