In the title story, a 15-year-old girl has secluded herself in her bedroom for an entire summer because she believes she is being stalked. In this time alone, getting familiar with her shame and neurosis, she discovers that she may be hiding from more than the old man across the street, who watches her through a telescope.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe poetry surrounding the title story takes a closer look at the role that embarrassment can play around a blossoming identity. A smothered dream, bad coping mechanisms, another faulty resolution, and a reluctance to communicate with those we are desperate to be heard by. We all remember the utter humiliation of taking our first steps, right? \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eLook At The Moon\u003c\/em\u003e begs you to read with intention and then take direction from the title. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGareth Fitzgerald is a 23-year-old writer and dog mother from upstate NY.
