The Moon is Mistaken: and other musings

"Michelle Lovett's writing is at turns deeply heartfelt, funny and ironic, contemplative and full of joy and wonder. Whether it be about nature's ability to renew and heal us "Hurrying The Daffodils", the death of a dear friend "Finishing Life", the miracles of self-love "Inner Child" or a delightful stream of consciousness riff about food noise, "I Will Not Write a Poem about Pie" she keenly taps into the emotional and spiritual core of things and allows the reader to connect to and feel universal understanding and love. To experience her work is like a receiving loving hug."
-Joanna Zippel, Producer and Creative Coach, Zip Creative

"Sacred and playful, sublime and funny, the poetry in this collection shares with us a unique inner landscape. Lovett's poems are rich with childhood wonder, spirit, and a deep connection to nature. They are highly accessible and engaging, allowing every reader to find joy and meaning within these pages. Through these poems we can imagine the inner life of trees, feel the light in pieces of a narrative from a life lived, and become inspired by the techni-color world painted by each. Here the natural world buzzes with life, connection, and pure love. Lovett shares a personal psychic journey reveling in something new with each line. It's a collection of precious moments, memory, and wisdom that helps us to see our own journey and ourselves."
