As it moves back and forth over time, Bathed in Moonlight explores the ambiguity of what is lost and what is gained in poetry. While
Vassiliki Rapti's poems certainly engage with the voices of her native Greek tradition they would also seem to be in dialogue with
poetries beyond the borders of the western world. She tends to locate individual experience in the collective. And so, with intense
lyricism and transformative, vivid expression, each poem creates its own separate world of emotional strength. These poems are fluent,
vibrant, reflective, sensitive, open and brilliantly sensory. They reflect Rapti's wonder at the world, the cyclic nature of life and
language. Her voice spins, floats, and whirls from spiral shells, floating lakes, the ever vigilant moon and calls through fragments
of memory, the depths of the underground and the unspoken that hides between each line.
