Mouth of Home: Poems
- Book Review,
by Janell Moon
Toni Mirosevich, "The Rooms We Make Our Own", 'Firebrand Books'
"The poetry contained here shows us a poet's desire to honor her creative life in the midst of all that crowds her and as a result we, as readers, find fresh new ways to give sway to our own imaginations. We also learn valuable lessons about the everyday battle to stay true to oneself, past and present, old world and new, and fashion a life which responds to it all."
Dorothy Wall, co-author of 'Finding Your Writer's Voice: A Guide to Creative Fiction"
Janell Moon's is an absolutely original voice...She brings to her writing the raw, risky honesty that only a strong poet can....these poems will leave you wanting more from this fine poet."
Diane di Prima
"Janell Moon's poetry unwraps the mysteries of the ordinary. It is at once familiar, and full of surprises. She shows us, again and again, that indeed we can get there from here."
