Fire and the Moon: Poems for my Daughter

Take my hand now. We have so much to see. Time is a tricky, playful thing, and I think it means to show us something beautiful. The relationship between a daughter and her daddy is really something special. There's no other experience quite like it. Brandon Thompson, the author of this book, is a relatively-new dad who's had a whole lot to learn. Using the tools of ecstatic poetry, Brandon has chronicled the first two years of his daughter's life in verse, hoping to capture the messiness, the uncertainty, the moments of awe, the vulnerable joy of embarking upon one of the grandest adventures in human living. There seems to be some greater purpose hidden deep within the union of parent and child. This book seeks to express that profoundly-mystical connection and attempts to unravel some of the mysteries that all parents encounter as they watch their children grow. This book is intended as a gift. It's for daddies and daughters, parents and lovers, and anyone who has some elusive sense of deeper meaning, either for themselves, for their children, or both. Most of all, though, it's for one special little girl, who came here intentionally, with purpose, and by choice. Just as we all do.
