Moony Days of Being

Synopsis

Nathan Hoks' fourth poetry collection moves through grief, parenthood, memory, and the absurdities of contemporary life with surreal wit and emotional precision. These poems inhabit a world of shifting metaphors and unexpected associations, where humour sits alongside loss, and moments of intimacy emerge from uncertainty, ecological anxiety, and political despair.

Blending odes, self-portraits, and elegies, Moony Days of Being resists easy conclusions. Instead, it invites readers into a lyrical landscape where language continually transforms itself, finding beauty in confusion, tenderness in exhaustion, and connection through shared vulnerability.
