Phases - Poems

In this electrifying debut poetry collection--written with the ferocity of Rita Dove''s groundbreaking Thomas and Beulah --a critically acclaimed award-winning talent explores a wide range of emotions, from anxiety to ecstasy reflecting the moon''s phases, from Waning Gibbous to Full. Both intimate and intricately structured Tramaine Suubi''s remarkable work is inspired by the moon--its phases'' effects on water, the Earth, and our bodies. Phases relishes in the beauty of change, even that caused by heartbreak. Suubi''s refreshing, vulnerable verse begs to be underlined, memorized, and shared; each of her poems operate as love letters to the cyclical healing that occurs in nature, in our bodies, and in the bodies that have come before us.
