Cambridge Common Writers Presents: moon moon by July Westhale, Book Launch

April 17 @ 7:00 pm 8:00 pm EST

Join us for a virtual celebration of July Westhale’s (Poetry, June 2013) latest poetry collection, moon moon! Registration required.

A moon’s moon may or may not be the astronomically accurate descriptor of a moon that orbits another moon. Whether rooted in logic or merely a cosmically precise description of “space trash”, moon moon is a collection that observes worlds: above, below, and inside of. Rife with chaotic eco grief, undercut with dark humor and strangeness. (Whitney Houston as two oracles to the moon of the moon, humans as gods as humans again.) It takes us from the world to the moon, to the moon of the moon, and back again–sometimes scientifically, often experientially, and always obsessively. It is a collection for anyone who holds curiosity, exploration, and the existentialism of climate change simultaneously. It is for the truest astronauts among us.
