Book Description - Into the Pale Moonlight
Into the Pale Moonlight is a luminous collection of original haiku that drifts between the mystical and the everyday, the sacred and the absurd, the tender and the fierce.
In these pages, moons rise and ravens circle. Cats pounce, emperors smile, gods grow restless, and seasons turn without asking permission. A spilled glass of wine becomes tragedy. A birthday candle becomes ceremony. A dictator falls. A butterfly floats.
Michelle Hoffmann captures fleeting moments-three lines at a time-where nature, memory, humor, and quiet rebellion intersect. Some poems shimmer with myth and omen. Others feel like snapshots from a kitchen, a forest, a party, or a restless midnight mind. Together, they form a mosaic of human experience: love, celebration, chaos, longing, awakening.
This is a book meant to be opened at random. To be savored slowly. To be read under soft lamplight or in the hush of early morning.
Like moonlight itself, these haiku illuminate what is already there-waiting to be noticed
