A question which is worthy of thought before you give your answer.
'Phases of the Moon' is a carefully crafted and selected collection of some of the very best of Ms Hastings poetry. In this debut anthology she shows us the wide spectrum of her poetic ability. There are poems both joyful and melancholy, ones that will tease your heart or mind and sometimes both. It is a magical journey to savour this book cover to cover, or to just dip in and pluck a single poem out to read and leave you thinking about the questions asked.
Louise's writing proclaims her love of the natural world, also her emotional connections to the ethereal or other worldly side of this precious thing we call existence.
I highly recommend this book for both seasoned poetry lovers and those who may feel intimidated by the complexity of poetry, her soft yet powerful style of writing will set you at your ease and absorb your senses in the most wonderful way.
To return to the question Ms Hastings asks in 'Fireweed' a moment when reading this book maybe longer than you realise but you will not mind getting lost in its pages.

Louise Hasting's poetry is delicately wrought. Her poetry weaves a lyrical spell to transport readers into world's of beauty. She has a magic touch that brings forth the sublime in the most ordinary things. She confronts dark thoughts with immense courage transmuting them to gold. in short, her poetry is inspirational and uplifting without any sentimentality. Each time I reread Louise's poems I find something new.
