Publisher's Description
Lunations isn't just a journey into the abyss of space. It's also an exploration of human courage and vulnerability. In this voyage, you will come to understand that the depths of human emotion are as boundless as the universe itself, that cosmos exist within--and without--all of us. As the earth recedes into a speck of light, you will navigate uncharted territories of the cosmos as you delve into the heart and soul of a spaceship captain on an odyssey of human condition and connection. These verses illuminate the intricate relationships we share--with our planet, with each other, and with our deepest selves. They reflect on the echoes of our past, the pulse of our present, and the unknown realms of our future. Love, loss, friendship, trauma, hope--every human sentiment finds voice in this cosmic voyage. Lunations is a unique ceremony, exploring the creation of identity amid a complex network of relationships. It engages with the ebb and flow of life, drawing from the same cyclical rhythm of lunar phases, revealing that which survives the waxing and waning of space-time.

“Seemingly out of nowhere, Garrett Mostowski has emerged onto the poetry scene, fully formed and displaying impressive range. This maiden collection is a voyage through space, a meditation on youth and old age, a kaleidoscope of biblical and space-age imagery that, in the end, settles into the pattern of a celestial dance. The poems intertwine sorrow with joy and exile with redemption, their gravity livened by humor that emerges like firecrackers lighting up the sky.”
“Garrett Mostowski’s poetry makes me feel more alive and hopeful. And courageous. It makes the world seem both enormous and more livable-in. You may consider me biased, as one of the poems is dedicated to me, but I think if you read it, you might see that it’s for you too.”
“Garrett Mostowski’s poems are luminous and quickened, whispered secrets caught on the wind, full of pain and wonder, sparked alive by the grace of the mundane. Lunations is the kind of book that never leaves you, one you will carry with you all your days.”
“With Lunations, Garrett Mostowski invites the reader on a journey to explore ways of making a new creation amidst our sorrows and losses, ways of making new life amidst climate change and alienation, ways of making connections across previously established divides. Lunations presents poetic meditations in conversation with a number of poets and writers, shining light into corners of our individual and shared universes and ultimately reminding us that we are all on this ship together.”
