Invoking the moon as a symbol for our own emotional phases and cycles, these poems invite us to look unflinchingly at our most shadowy parts and find them worthy of love. Nue writes, I am trying to become friends with loneliness -- a courageous act in the face of a society that values productivity over the ability to cultivate a deep love and knowledge of ourselves. -Jamila Woods, singer, poet Nue Foster's Waning is a tender reminder. Children of the sun, and faces of the moon, we are an earthly body. Growing and moving in truth, identity and passion. Who's to judge how we got here? When we depend on the sky to know where we come from. -E'mon Lauren Black, author of Commando, Chicago's First Youth Poet Laureate I was in my late thirties before I had the luxury of knowing what taking up space was all about. However, this human has shown us that all things including the moon have multiple dimensions and just like the moon, we are changing whether we want to or not. And we are all asking to be seen. -Fredia Gee Author InformationNu is a Blk queer artist from the far south side of Chicago where they call The Hundreds home.
