With the gift of illuminating the darkness, the moon holds a special place in many hearts as a sign of quiet strength and beauty. In a collection of poems divided into four sections-crescent, half, gibbous, and full moon- Wandering by Moonlight explores what the heart sees, feels, and remembers, while reflecting on the awakening of dreams, imagined journeys, and portraits of nature. Lovely, quiet, and challenging, these poems explore a deep awareness of human strength and frailty wrapped in nature's many gifts for a spirit willing to know what it means to travel the seasons, to live a life by paying attention.

Gordon Dawson is a native of Portland, Oregon, where he lives with his wife and daughter and two cats. He enjoys gardening, and spends a good deal of time reading mystery thrillers, novels, non-fiction related to wildlife and the environment, and other poets. This is his second book.
