Blood Moon, Backyard Mountain

By Rodd Whelpley

In his first full-length poetry collection, Rodd Whelpley finds worlds of memory and imagination in his backyard.

The poems in Blood Moon, Backyard Mountain explore the familiar, backyard geographies of the tiny: birds, June bugs, creeping Charlie, desiccated leaves, old dogs that must constantly be walked. They also map the expansive territories of the imagination and the past--the places where family and friends have died, the yearnings for love with more depth, for life with more living. They are at once personal and universal, private and inviting.

Poetry. Nature.
