Title: Apricot and the Moon
Description: "The Apricot and the Moon is a collection of mostly narrative poems that discuss the relationships between language, art, nature and time. The manuscript moves from existential questions, to personal reflections, and on to a bit of whimsy, because obviously poets do not have all the answers. Using the moon as a talisman and a touchstone, Essinger writes about the known world--the intimacy of nature, the wisdom of the skies--and then moves on to the wonder of the unknown and how it is illuminated in our lives"--
