Moon Facts by Bob Schofield

5.0

This book contains facts about THE MOON, poetry, illustrations, and a narrative about you and THE MOON and straw boys and bears. Most importantly, it contains a lot of strange and eerie feelings that are sort of about THE MOON and sort of about us. Reading MOON FACTS simultaneously feels like looking at THE MOON while having uncomfortably human feelings and looking at a beautiful human while having uncomfortably cosmic feelings. My only wish for this book would be that it contained 999 facts about THE MOON, instead of skipping hundreds of facts that I would like to know. Still, I’m trying to remember the poet’s warning and assurance: “Bitch, this is THE MOON / There are no fucking rules.”
