Primarily through elegiac verse, Sinking in Moonlight Alone venerates the lives of loved ones lost. A thematic kaleidoscope of mental health, religion and addiction unveil a community's disparate decision-making in fear of isolation. Knowles' collection elucidates dichotomous choices made in the unquiet of Connecticut.
