Description

How appropriate that the book begins with a leap of faith-a child attempting to fly. And equally proper: she never lands. In Mary Lou's poems, we float through moments formative or formidable, touching or frightful, but all with universal appeal and lit with generous spirit and a graceful love of language. When finally we touch down, it is years later, a world away, still light on our feet, nimble with wonder. -Harry Lafnear, Editor, Willow Glen Poetry Project Bringing Home the Moon is a beautiful journey in time and space, from childhood memories of Middle America ultimately to savoring life in Silicon Valley. Exploring various kinds of flight, these poems range the fastest seven decades of American life. Pausing at certain arrivals or take-offs, personal or communal, the poet deftly evokes strong feelings that her images suggest; this is a collection of and for our time. -Elsie Leach, Professor Emerita, San Jose State University, California Mary Lou Taylor is one of my favorite poets, with an impressive body of work. Now, in Bringing Home the Moon, we have her past experience turned into poems boldly planned and implemented through the prism of memory. Poetry is a time machine when we have patterns with characters, relationships, and places we long to enter, where language challenges conventional thought. Great poetic decisions are made when Mary Lou Taylor registers the things she loves-we anticipate emotions in the line before they are felt, so that each page has its own trajectory of discovery. Some experiences we can identify as our own; others intersect with all that we have missed. In both cases, these are beautifully proportioned recollections you will read and then revisit. There is a great heart at the core of each poem. -Grace Cavalieri, radio host of The Poet and the Poem, from the Library of Congress
