I Hung Myself on the Moon: Poems

This inaugural collection of contemporary poems frames the human experience in 30 lyrical and diverse poems about life. Getahun’s voice sings with a hint of sadness, a heart full of passion and longing for home--the home we desire in a partner, in a country, and even within the streets we walk every day. With a rhythm and motion often heard through spoken word, these poems propel the reader forward through love, heartache, and self-discovery, as we recognize in ourselves “a homeless moon orbiting its haloed dissent."
