Interspersed with archival documents and photographs, Moon's poems move deftly between the voices of a widow forced to relinquish her daughter, an orphaned child navigating identity and inherited loss and a chorus of unclaimed girls who remind us that \"nothing stays buried, not even a daughter.\" Whether taking on historical tragedy and erasure or adoption or the mundanity of citizenship paperwork and mornings in a new city, Moon's poetry creates a poignant intervention against cultural silence that reminds us of the possibility of finding yourself at the very moment you thought you were lost.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnsley Moon\u003c\/b\u003e (born 1982) is the author of \u003ci\u003eHow to Bury the Dead\u003c\/i\u003e (Black Coffee Press, 2011). Moon is an adoptee and a cofounder of the Starlings Collective.","brand":"Ansley Moon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44796639477802,"sku":"9781935717294","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/0891\/6522\/files\/register-the-missing-7360288.jpg?v=1788525427","url":"https:\/\/thepoetryshop.com\/products\/register-the-missing","provider":"The Poetry Shop LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
