Bursting Moon by Corine Timmer

“Bursting Moon is a powerful and poignant chapbook about a woman’s deep desire to conceive and deliver a healthy baby. Corine Timmer’s journey will leave you speechless and, at times, heartbroken. A must-read for every woman who is struggling with infertility.”

— Pamela A. Babusci, Editor of the art of tanka

“It would be hard for anyone to come away from reading Corine Timmer’s Bursting Moon and not be touched. While diminutive in size, this collection is large in feeling. The poems are luminous, filled with pathos and yearning. The highs and lows of one woman’s fertility struggle are beautifully rendered while the images add a dreamy dimension to the overall feel of the book. This one will stay with me.”

— Reid Hepworth, Author of the improbability of sea monkeys and loss is a river
