    Reviews
    These poems are sensuous and lyrical; the poet is passionately present in the fleeting moment 'listening carefully with the body's rapt attention'. . . . And they are also elegiac, haunted by impermanence and past sorrow, always aware that 'the gods do not like to dole out too much honey.', "This book of motherhood, memory, and elegiac urgency crosses borders, cultures, and languages to bring us the good news of being alive. With language clear as water and rich as blood, The Moons of August offers a human communion we can all believe in. Reckoning with and grieving for the past as they claim the future, these poems are wise, direct, and fearless. 'What's gone / is not quite gone, but lingers,' Laméris reminds us. 'Not the language, but the bones / of the language. Not the beloved, / but the dark bed the beloved makes / inside our bodies.'" --Dorianne Laux, author of Only as the Day Is Long "Danusha Laméris writes with definitive, savoring power in perfectly well-weighted lines and scenes. Her poems strike deeply, balancing profound loss and new finding, employing a clear eye, a way of being richly alive with appetite and gusto, and a gift of distilling experience to find its shining core. Don't miss this stunning first book." --Naomi Shihab Nye, author of The Tiny Journalist, The poems of Danusha Lameris are more than "a faint scrawl on the parchment of the heart" as she boldly maps her relation to self, others, nature, history, and the higher power that governs all aspects of existence. In The Moons of August, Lameris gives the reader the gift of insight into the meaning of life with all of its uncertainties and pain. These are poems of grace and truth.-Sonja James, The Journal (WV)
