The book

Moonlight's Bridge

Moonlight's Bridge is a collection of poetry written for anyone who has been told that the dark is something to fear. It argues the opposite: that darkness is not evil but lonely, and that a person can bloom inside it the way a moonflower does.

The poems move through grief, fear, mortality and the slow work of healing, and are offered to those whose souls seek refuge in the soothing moonlight.

About the Author

“There is a side to darkness, where only the moon shines.”

In 2019, in a class of poetry while analyzing the poem 'Darkness' by Lord Byron, a thought flew into my mind. While my friends and classmates kept referring to the 'dark' as evil or something that scares them, I thought — why would they refer to it as the foe, when darkness in itself is rather a sad and lonely element?

Like moonflowers, I prove to you that you can bloom beautifully within the dark. This book is for them, whose souls seek refuge in the soothing moonlight. The path to healing.
