Hymns to the Moon, by Nicole Langley

Poetry, chapbook, 40 pages, from Bottlecap Features.

Hymns to the Moon is an expression of love, worship, adoration, isolation, and nature. It’s a soft ray of moonlight across a pond’s water. It’s a hand reaching desperately for the stars. It’s a continuation of the exploration of thoughts that could be considered too womanly, too romantic, too soft, in a world that constantly tries to harden the sensitive.

This book digs beneath the ribs, right into the heart when it clenches, when it finds its first love. It’s craving for something unattainable, something just out of reach, but always to be seen in the night sky. A tale of yearning, with constant questions and doubts, meant to be soothed by a ray of light. Can you love too much? Can love turn to worship? Can you grow from it?
