Book Summary
This is a poetry collection for adults, a nocturnal journey along the Severn Estuary. Its central theme is moonrise, traced through five formsโnew moon, half moon, full moon, no moon, and moon rebornโand voiced by living and dead figures drawn from real people in the Severn catchment. The poems cultivate a meditative, awe-filled tone that invites careful listening and a sense of wonder about language, water, and the night.
Presented as a multi-voiced sequence, the work blends registers and personae into a single nocturnal voyage. Voices speak toward the moment of moonrise, their language moving between lyric reflection, ritual incantation, and earthly detail. The effect is intimate and expansiveโa listening room where water, weather, memory, and speech illuminate one another.
The reading experience is immersive and musical. The varied voices and time shifts reward slow reading and repeated returns. Readers move through the text as if strolling the estuary at night, hearing how the moon's light reshapes sound and meaning.
What you gain after finishing is a heightened sense of place and language: a quieter, more attentive way of experiencing water, moonlight, and memory. It builds curiosity about land and voice, invites contemplative enjoyment, and leaves a lasting impression of the Severnโs night-time voice.
