In her first book of poetry, Endi Simon takes her readers on a raw and visceral journey through the dark roots of her own history. The lyrical world of this evocative collection is structured around Beethoven's Sonata Quasi Una Fantasia, more famously known as Moonlight Sonata.
Divided into three parts, mirroring the composition's movements, these poems trace the author's path through childhood innocence, the grip of religious extremism, the haunting echoes of sexual abuse, the struggle with addiction, and the wreckage of love and divorce. Each poem tells a story from that journey, forming a symphony of human experience filled with raw emotion and profound insight.
Ultimately, this book serves as a touching tribute to the shared language of pain that makes us all human, offering the hope of recovery and renewal on the transformative journey back to self.
