Love, loss, memories, bonding, friendships, recollections of beauty, ruminations about nature, nostalgia, regrets, all that is missing, everything lilting and melodious that crowds the mind of a poet comes together to paint Maria?s canvas of pages in a spontaneous outpouring of lyrical poetry that is modern and yet so … rich, old and timeless in its thousand shades of feelings, realisations and emotions. To the Moon and Back, a collection of 40 beautiful poems, captures the essence of the poet?s personality, drawing readers into her collage that is creative, wild, untamed and whimsy! A collector and poetry lover?s delight.
