Overview Månekvinne

Moon-Woman is a poem about the grand forces of nature, wild animals, and the remarkable qualities of plants, as well as a person's change of pace, and transformation deep within a primeval forest.

A pact between the woman and the Moon suddenly breaks. She suffers from migraines and stabbing pains in her ovaries, and begins a long journey to an ancient forest. There, witches perform their arts, and bison roam freely. The witches give her a hut with earthen walls and a smoke hole in the roof, and reveal to her nature’s many possibilities for relief, ecstasy, and transcendence. In the lush green, she lives in symbiosis with all creatures. Though her pain does not fully cease, her body acquires new knowledge. The Moon-Woman unites with her animal powers.
