The poems in the moon won't be dared by award-winning author Anne Leigh Parrish ponder nature, love, ageing, and the impossible plight of women in a male-dominated society. Love and reverence for beauty blend with harsher truths of betrayal and brutality. Throughout, there is an overriding sense that life is full of magic, and that to wonder is a lovely gift.

This is a new poet for me. I really enjoyed The Moon Won't Be Dared and would definitely read more of the poet's work. The themes explored in this collection occur in poetry again and again because they speak to all out heart's and include love, betrayal and loss. These poems stand out due to the beautiful language and imagery and the lovely illustrations throughout. These poems spoke to me. This is an impressive collection.
