Morning Glory Moon: A Weaving of Free Verse & Forms

Casey Robb's diverse collection of poetry encompasses both free verse and traditional forms, (such as sonnets, pantoums, and villanelles) to move the reader through moods that range from eerie and somber to humorous and light. Robb mines topics such as tornadoes, grief, danger, aging, ghosts, and war exploring the darker side of life, and then with poems that frolic with monkeys & mirth, fiddles & fireflies, astrophysics & trains, paintings & partings, and a spider dance, she eases the reader to a cozy landing, a winding down to sleep.---------------------"Visit Casey's world, and you'll return home with a different vision of your everyday, ordinary life."-NOLCHA FOX, author of Writing Between the Lines"Casey Robb's new collection is sub-titled A Weaving of Free Verse and Forms-apt, given her skill with both. Casey handles magical images as well as she does concrete ones-a true weaver of morning glory moons."-KATHY KIETH, editor of Medusa's Kitchen"Robb's poems express universal truth. The four parts of the book include haunting stories, myths, and memories that explore grief, humor, aging, loss, death, and other topics related to the human condition. To do so within formal poetic forms demonstrates impeccable skill."-BARBARA HARRIS LEONHARD, editor of Feed the Holy; author of The Lost Book of Zeroth"Her poems are questions, shapes of light and dark in the night sky, ruins down from the path that catch the eye, and beckon the traveler to descend and explore. The world is a wedding of harmony and discord, sense and sensuality, and self and other.-PETE MLADINIC, author of The Whitestone Bridge"Morning Glory Moon blooms like its namesake flower that unfolds at night. Robb's poems are radiant, rare, and full of wonder."-MUNMUM (SAM) SAMAMTA, author of Yellow Chrysanthemums
