Lunar Wake

Lunar Wake ebbs and flows like an ocean tide, bringing with it madness, romance, obsession, egoism: the ­uncontrollable forces that control our lives. A work in five parts, Lunar Wake reflects the poet's own ambivalence about the moon as a symbol, and about the lyric tradition in which it looms so large.

“Catherine Hunter’s is a full, assured and original voice. With its complex, driving rhythms, its clarity, playfulness, imaginative breadth and emotional range, it’s a voice full of surprises.”
—George Amabile
