twelve moons

By: Everett, Claire

A collection of 100 tanka,"Twelve Moons realises the epitome of Chekhov's desire when he said "don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass." In her first tanka collection, Claire Everett demonstrates she is a skilful artisan who fully appreciates the value of conveying feeling and scene through the discreet act of showing. She has carefully crafted each tanka to illuminate the human emotion and our relationship with the world around us. This collection cycles through the seasons of the heart and is grounded in the lived experience of the poet. The tanka that opens spring subtly suggests of the hidden promises that can be found in this season if we are receptive to its nuances. Claire Everett shows, with great clarity and sincerity of feeling, the profound impact and beauty of silence..." from the introduction by David Terelinck.
