On Love, Longing and The Moon

What remains after love has gone- and who do we become when the longing stays? On Love, Longing and the Moon is an intimate poetry collection about the tender contradictions of being human: loving and losing, breaking and becoming, grieving the life we imagined while still reaching toward the light. With honesty, softness, and quiet defiance, R. Hendry writes of romance and its absence, womanhood, survival, loneliness, wonder, and the small sacred things that guide us home. Here, the moon disappears and returns. Flowers bloom because of the rain. Hope exists beside sorrow, and healing does not ask us to deny what hurt. For anyone who has carried love beyond its ending, searched for beauty within the darkness, or wondered whether life could begin again, these poems offer companionship-and a gentle reminder that longing is not evidence of emptiness. There is beauty in what remains. There is life beyond the breaking. The after always comes.
