The Moon as Witness

About the Book

For eons and millennia the moon has overlooked the earth in all phases of development. All the creatures, however strange that have occupied the varied environs. Humans the strangest of creatures by far have over their short time on the planet provided the moon with moments of both euphoria and despair. The moon has witnessed everything crossing the full range of emotions and behaviours from bravery to depravity, the horror and the comedy. These poems are but snippets of the great tragicomedy.
