Overview

Fencing with the Moon is a celebration of women's strength and vulnerability, a poetic tribute to the beauty and complexity of the feminine experience, tethered to the timeless rhythms of the moon. The collection confronts the complexities of gender, identity, power dynamics, and resilience in a world where silence often defines women's struggles. Each haiku is a blade, delicately wielded, revealing the emotional truths behind relationships, trauma, empowerment, and survival. This book serves as both an homage to the poet's foremothers and a rallying cry for those who continue to resist and bloom, one season at a time.

Author Information

Julie Schwerin, author of What Was Here (Folded Word Press), Walking Away From the Sunset (Brooks Books) and still growing wings (Backbone Press), came to haiku in the midst of cancer and grief journeys, writing one-breath poems to focus on the present moment with acceptance, wonder and appreciation. Schwerin was instrumental in establishing several haiku installations in the Midwest including The Forest Haiku Walk at the Holmes County Open Air Art Museum in Millersburg, Ohio (2015-present), the Seasons of Haiku Trail at The Holden Arboretum in Kirtland, Ohio (2018-2019) and Words in Bloom: A Year of Haiku at the Chicago Botanic Garden (2020-2021) to feature the work of other poets and bring further awareness to this deceptively simple and powerful poetic form.
