Among
the
many
memorable
lines in this elegant, passionate book are
these: "this is what transformation looks likie--the mess of it, the
tapping at the walls of your life." One
Hundred
Aspects
of
the
Moon tends to center in the perception of
a crossing, a sudden awareness that some monumental change has come
upon the self. Yet the book is anything but nostalgic: everything in it
struggles to accept change--or at least to see it with renewed clarity.
Lowitz writes that the moon has not only a hundred but thousands of
aspects. These poems are about the minds amazing ability to perceive
itself at exactly the moment when the self is least stable: the moment
of chanbge.One Hundred Aspects of the Moon is a rich poetry of
awareness in motion. One poems asks, "What would you save if your house
were burning down?" Lowitz--like Cocteau--would save "the fire."

Just as the moon
reflects the sun's light, Leza Lowitz's poetry reflects a life fully
lived, illuminating transformations of various kinds. Informed by
wisdom both ancienbt and contemporary, Eastern and Western, this book
reminds us that the impulse toward creative renewal is what helps us to
thrive in whatever dark corner of the psyche, or the world.
KIM ADDONIZIO, Author
of The Poet's Companion and Tell Me
Leza Lowitz is that rare poet who stays focused in
the clarity of the mind's now, whether she is immersed in the natural
beauty of the northern California shoreline or contemplaing Old World
architecture & its ghosts of sorrowing geniuses & martyred
innocents. This is a woman with an exceptionally fine-tuned mind who is
not afraid to listen to all the ambivalent nuances of her own thought
& to share them openly, as if the reader were her best friend.
Lucky we all are to have her new collection.
GERALD NICOSIA,
author of Memory Babe: A Critical
Biography of Kack Kerouac, and Love, California Style: Selected Poems.
