Synopsis
Curve of The Moon is a haunting exploration of individual and collective voices. It deals with life as lived at the edges, where myth and reality overlap in an untamed landscape, where earth-mother sonnets curve around a moonland of dreams. Monahan's belief that we are essentially alone prevails throughout the collection and the truths of yesterday are questioned alongside the false gods of modern times. Monahan enters a psychic wasteland, creates bridges that give access to a youthful reimagining of the past, and raises the voices of a forgotten community to full poetic chorus.
