Inside a Lemon Moon contains fifty-three confessional poems. Divided into three parts, peel, pith, and pulp, each succulent section is an ink cocktail, mixing love, loss, and grief with a wedge of light and hope still resting on its salty rim.

Shufelt's writing pierces the fabric of our fragile world, falling into a glossy lemon moon, enriched by moths and deep layers of allegory and allusion. This, her most vulnerable poetic work-to-date, considers mortality as its most raw; the passage of time, set against enduring love, loss and renewal. Ultimately redemptive, this collection is exquisite in its wisdom and refusal to sit down. There is a taut piano wire of musicality alongside the maturity of a poet who knows who she is. Shufelt's expanse of language, her love of poetic form and her enduring passion for nature, is explored with such finesse, we are reminded why poetry stays long after reading.

What a splendid title for the book! Each section is a metaphor for the type of content we're about to engage with: we begin by opening ourselves up to new experiences, then we delve into the heart of the bitterness life sometimes brings, and ultimately, we find the meaning and acceptance of it. Shufelt's work is filled with deep, rich emotions about stories of new love, the frets of living, the beginnings of lives, and all that is hopeful and fresh, sprinkled deftly with the reality of living through it and accepting its end. Brava, Trisha! - Susi Bocks, Author of Feeling Human & Every Day I Pause
