Description
Moon Jar is a deeply personal and powerful collection of poems by Didi Jackson, exploring the complexities of grief, love, and loss after the sudden death of her husband to suicide. With immense candor, she maps out the emotional difficulty of continuing as a mother while seeking to regain a sense of normalcy.
Through these precise and evocative poems, Jackson orchestrates conversations around human suffering, the natural world, and impermanence, drawing on biblical narratives and works by artists such as Hildegard of Bingen, Pablo Picasso, Sappho, Mark Rothko, Kazimir Malevich, Hieronymus Bosch, and Frédéric Chopin. The result is a tableau that celebrates the imperfection of existence.
These poems mark a journey towards healing and recovery, one that is both raw and vulnerable, yet ultimately affirming of the power of lyric poetry to sustain us in times of trauma and loss.
