William Carlos Williams' famous lines about the difficulty of getting the news from poems--and the life-sustaining necessity of pursuing what poems can offer--come to mind when one reads The Full Moon Herald. Formatted in sections similar to those found in a newspaper, Phyllis Klein's book offers insightful poems about contemporary life in and beyond America's borders. These poems offer emotional nuances and wise perspectives that humanize the difficult truths we are all faced with during challenging times.

The Full Moon Herald was awarded an Honorable Mention in Poetry, the Eric Hoffer 2021 Awards.

Industry Reviews

Phyllis Klein is a poet of great courage. She brings us what Ezra Pound called poetry: "the news that stays news." Her determination to see and name what we are afraid to face powers the headlines of this startling debut collection.

-Jack Ridl, author of Saint Peter and the Goldfinch

Phyllis Klein's remarkable poems make hidden wounds visible as she digs into the Breaking News. Entering this world, you breathe in the fresh air of honesty. You fume, you weep with her along the treacherous paths she travels, to finally understand we are "relatives in the fields of trees, beauty, and devastation we call home." Such good news.

-Perie Longo, author of Baggage Claim

The Full Moon Herald is Phyllis Klein's golden pass key. It swings open the doors of contemporary American poetry and shouts: "Extra! Read all about it!"

- Paul Fericano, author of The Hollywood Catechism
