Synopsis
Set upon a journey of poetic enchantment and revelation where the pristine world of the Moon acts as a primal, integral part of the human psyche. Lover's Moon & Juniper is an intimate merger of free verse, Shakespearean and Petrarchan sonnets, haiku, and villanelle, to celebrate the splendor of the Moon and its influence on our Earth. The Moon embraces two loving partners in the same way that she and the Earth have embraced for eons. This sylphid maiden of love beckons those who fall beneath her spell - seducing with serene grace and silence, singing in harmony with the emotional music of both desire and loneliness. This evocative collection of two voices and two styles converging into one celestial object as a symbol for personal discovery of the heart explores the Moon's phases viewed through lovers' eyes. In Lover's Moon & Juniper, Michael and Minerva's passionate, longing poetic voices bring about an understanding of the male and female psyche and the many layers of human emotions.

The Moon.
Its magic... Its mystery...Its moments of surreal and ethereal light transform the nighttime sky into a liquid silver of sensation and reflection. The Moon is the ever-present companion of Earth. She is as reliable in her orbiting diligence as she is fickle in her changing face.
Set upon a journey of poetic enchantment and revelation where this pristine world of the moon acts as a primal, integral part of the human psyche and the many layers of emotion.
Lover's Moon and Juniper is an evocative collection of two voices and two styles harmoniously converging into one celestial object as a symbol for personal discovery of the heart--exploring the Moon's phases, viewed through lover's eyes.
Authors, Minerva T. Bloom and Michael D. Petti write with a passionate combination of free verse, Shakespearean and Petrarchian sonnets, haiku and villanelle, merging to celebrate the splendor of our moon and it's influence on Earth.
Since the very dawn of life on Earth, the Moon has been a source of natural rhythm; a forceful declaration for oceans, a calendar and guide for voyagers, an inspiration to lovers and poets alike. More than this, the Moon is cut from the vast, cosmological flesh of the universe itself. Her sight to human eyes is a joyous and serene drop of comfort in the enormous sea of the unknown. She comfortably weds our need to know and explore as human beings to the infinity of the unknowable and unreachable.
The Moon is the faithful partner of the Earth, the bearer of the Sun's brilliance, the supreme Siren of the Night. The Moon is the essence of shadow and light; history and myth; reality and dream. The Moon haunts and mesmerizes.
And, of course, the Moon is the sylphid maiden of love. She beckons those who fall beneath her spell of romantic vision. She seduces, a temptress, with the grace of serenity and silence. She sings in harmony with the emotional music of both desire and loneliness. The Moon embraces two loving partners in the same way She and the Earth have embraced for eons...
A highly recommended read, for all poetry lovers!
