The Apricot and the Moon by Cathryn Essinger is reviewed in Poetry Matters by Karen George.
Cathryn Essinger’s new collection, The Apricot and the Moon, is an exploration and meditation on abundance, fragility, and loss; creation, imagination, and memory; time, seasons, and cycles; beauty, mystery, and magic. The poems are inhabited by connections to the moon, sun, water, and wind; family, friends, and neighbors; animals and flora. They resonate with a complex blend of longing, vulnerability, tenderness, reverence, and possibility.
