In Mountains of the Moon, her fifth collection, Irene Blair Honeycutt takes readers on a journey from creeks of childhood through rivers and inlets all the way to the Red Sea and back again. The natural world has always been Honeycutt’s closest companion and theme, never more so than in these poems—so many of them written during the forced exile of the pandemic—through which we learn the power of living within the paradox of joy and sorrow. This lyric, elegiac collection demonstrates the power of evolution and reveals a storehouse of treasures left by the dead for the living. In rich and surprising language, Honeycutt shows us how to transmute grief into a conscious letting go. How to embody forgiveness, accept the unacceptable. How, in a world that sometimes seems to lack it, to find hope.Born in Jacksonville, FL, Irene Blair Honeycutt, award-winning poet and teacher, is the author of four previously published poetry collections. Her debut collection won Sandstone Publishing’s New South Poetry Book Regional Contest. Her third book, Before the Light Changes (Main Street Rag), was a finalist for the Brockman-Campbell Book Award. During her long tenure at Central Piedmont Community College in Charlotte, NC, she received the Award for Excellence in Teaching and founded the Spring Literary Festival (later named Sensoria), which had a twenty-nine-year run. Other honors include the college’s Irene Blair Honeycutt Distinguished Lectureship, the Irene Blair Honeycutt Lifetime Achievement Award and a Legacy Award in her name.
