New Moon is demanding poetry. The moon moves across its pages, sometimes shining down on horror and grief, other times on women's power. Lunez is unflinching in her depiction of the difficulties of life as an indigenous Mexican woman. At the same time, New Moon refuses to back down from celebrating women's agency, whether to put on that great red lipstick and go out to celebrate one's womanhood or to make one's life as one may. I'll be reading it again, soon—and this time, I'll start with the translator's note. My full review is available here.
