Under moonlight and the watch of winter wolves, through spring rain and summer heat, these poems follow a year's turning-all its desire, solitude, and quiet becoming. From the first thaw to the last frost, a lesbian Japanese poet traces love's small rituals and the wild answering call of forest, tide, and sky.
Divided into Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, the collection gathers moments of body and spirit, hunger and return, grief and renewal, until the year closes like a hand cupping flame-warm, certain, alive in the dark.
For readers drawn to contemporary queer poetry, to minimalist lyric and the intimacy of nature, Songs of the Wolf and Moon offers brief, luminous pieces to savor in one sitting or wander back to, like a familiar path at dusk. Its themes span sapphic love and longing, Japanese place and sensibility, wilderness and weather, memory and ritual.
