“There is a risk inherent in series poems. The poet admits he cannot contain the subject in a single poem yet promises to hold the series together through multiple views. In John A. Nieves’s moon poems, Nieves explores supernatural belief, unrequited love (for what other kind of love can one have for a fictional character?), and the dance of language, while never failing to surprise, delight, and illuminate.” ~ Poetry Editor Shaindel Beers
