Status Updates From Facts About the Moon

"The moon is backing away from us / an inch and a half each year . That means / if you're like me and were born / around fifty years ago the moon / was a full six feet closer to the earth. / What's a person to do?"

The titular poem is stunning and, so far, showing why it was chosen as the title for all the poems collected within, tying all the lunar strengths and brutal pulls of human emotion together...

If I could withstand the pain that getting the entirety of "The Ravens of Denali" tattooed on my body would bring me, I would totally go for it because I need to carry these words with me forever, wherever. Love love LOVE when poetry makes you feel like you just got an updated vision prescription that allows you to see more of this Earth you never saw fully before!! That feeling of "clarity" feeds my soul, truly.
