New Moon by Half: A Lifetime in Poetry

By Scott Oury

Book Overview

Drawn from material written over five decades, this book brings together a remarkable body of work, a lifetime in poetry.

Within these pages Scott Oury explores with honesty moments easily overlooked, and those difficult to ignore: family, love, the human connection with the natural world and beyond, an unoccupied space, a chance meeting in an airport, a forgotten wristwatch--and other instances of unexpected beauty. In the words of the author, "All of it, and much more--whatever captured my eye, or ear, and stirred feeling--got put into words."

Evocative, lyric and intimate, these poems celebrate the grace found in the mundane, the painful, and the overlooked, forging a new way of seeing for both writer and reader.
