Moon Too Heavy

Girl has empty baskets, blooming sky. Girl has moon full of pink atoms

in her hands, full of pale, full of long-time-ago. So solid it must have soul.

Pythagorus said “There is a good principle that created order, light, and man and a bad principle that created chaos, darkness, and woman.” Moon Too Heavy explores many of the ways in which women carry this weight, and how they might find it in themselves one day to cast it off.

“Jac Jenkins’ work has guts and intellect and a deep current of physical delight. These are fiery and thinking poems.” Anna Smaill

“Because it has a confident musicality & an artful physicality, which I am always drawn to. & because it contains just the right amount of poems, nothing more, which I am always impressed by & jealous of… Moon Too Heavy is a weird little book about life that I loved very much.” Sam Duckor-Jones
