Full Text
Moon is a poet of wild nature, vigorous energy, and sparking passion. Moon’s short lyrical poems represent poignant self-examination, evoking moments of bewilderment and hopeful resignation to the passage of time and imprisoning conditions of her life. She invites the reader along the tracks of a married woman’s life as she traveres her rite of initiation into maturity. Her work explores the desire to escape the fetters of domesticity as a vehicle for understanding a woman’s journey and her negotiations between the desire for freedom and domestic reality provides the context for longing in her poetry.
