Moonrise
‘These pods swollen by a marvellous logic
which this margin is too narrow to contain’
Moonrise is a poetry collection preoccupied with themes of scientific theory, love, cosmology and feminism. Tracking the moon through the skies, the poems propose theories and thought experiments, accompanied by night photography that traces through the trajectory of the collection.
The photographs included within the collection where taken by Rosie at Ella’s request. Responding to the poetry was easy, as every word within Moonrise is evocative and filled with imagery and meaning.
