“moonscape”

On Saturday I had a chance to speak with Sarah J. Donovan, editor of the open access anthology Just YA. One of my poems was included and after reading it aloud, I explained my motivation for writing “moonscape.” I don’t know how anyone could look at the devastation in Gaza and think of the moon, but when a reporter called the war zone a “moonscape,” that poem took shape in my mind. You can find the poem and this interview over at EthicalELA.com.
