When the Moon Is Right

Norwegian title: Ved helt riktig måne

Annabelle Despard

Despard writes distinctively with leaps that lead to surprising comparisons, and a perspective that is playful and sharp. Balanced with a certain solemnity, she conveys strong emotions in a convincing way.

In the United Kingdom, her poem Should I Die First was named one of the 50 best love poems published in the last 50 years. This collection also has beautiful and powerful poems about love and sorrow.
