Be prepared to feel. BeeLyn feels, and her feelings come through in each poem. Is it the suffering of the Tigrayan people trapped in a deadly war? A dreamer of freedom who dares expect? Maybe it’s two strangers, both missing someone they love. Or the portal of a mother’s dress. Sometimes it’s the hard work that comes from being. Read the book knowing how feelings always mean we are alive.
 –Georgia S. McDade, PhD, author of The Unlevel Field
 
Moonful by BeeLyn Naihiwet gives the reader a glimpse into the Black experience. From an incident of police brutality against a Black man to women who joke about men who left. Moonful will make you laugh. Moonful will make you cry. This stunning work will stay with you.
 –Leah Huete de Maines, Poet-in-Residence Emerita at Northern Kentucky University

Moonful is a worldview, a sacred language, a gathering of the lost and the enduring, a reckoning, and a collection of poems that challenges injustice, centers tomorrow, and celebrates love. Whether exploring motherhood as the birth of a mother, making the case for ghosts of victim-blaming, or grieving for a family and a people trapped in a war zone, Moonful bears compelling, clear-eyed and courageous witness.

BeeLyn Naihiwet is a Seattle-based Black poet from Tigray. She is passionate about her work as a mental health therapist, social justice, motherhood, and the moon. Moonful is her second book of poetry. Her debut poetry collection, Plenty, was published by Finishing Line Press in 2021.
