Lover's Moon

Lover's Moon by Don Gutteridge is genuine, moving and intimate collection. Gutteridge continues to explore his major subjects - love, longing, grief, memories - in this rewarding latest collection. He continues to find ways to celebrate the fond memories of the past while mourning the loss of his loved ones and weaving a love for life well-lived. Written in the memory of his beloved wife, the title poem, "Lover's Moon," is suffused with intimacy as Gutteridge invites the reader to accompany him on a trip down memory lane. The book's central themes consist of love, memories, longing, pain, grief, boyhood lust, and passion. These poems shimmer with thematic heft without shying away from pain and grief. The collection is a love letter to his wife, a life fully lived and enjoyed. Balancing tenderness with strength, and love with pain, Gutteridge offers a complex portrait of a narrator navigating old age with grace. Brimming with poems full of heart, nostalgia, and feeling, this empathetic, wise, and honest work is well worth visiting again and again.
