In A Quiet Moment: Poems

She spreads its light, showing herself on a cloudless night as a full moon self. Given her optimal fullness in the sky, my heart soars with romance, with my lover as my ally. So romantic is the moon on a dark night in this cocoon ... Mary Elizabeth Lee, known for her strong and consistent voice, shares her third collection of poems that experiment with new forms for the first time. In a compilation that varies between free verse, rhymed tercets, and prose, Lee explores a variety of relatable subjects that include the humorous banter between a husband and wife, the art of waiting for a much-anticipated visit, the wisdom that comes from measuring knowledge against experience, the peace that comes with the sounds of rain falling softly on a tin roof, the beauty surrounding the laws of nature, the acts of an aggressive sparrow determined to do whats right for its family and country, and the uncertainty that accompanies a fierce windstorm. In a Quiet Moment shares lyrical verse from a seasoned poet that leads others on a poignant journey through life, nature, and love.
