Synopsis "Explosive Moon"
In this rhythmic, evocative book of poetry, Nikki Check explores the visceral complications of love, the esoteric beauty of nature, and the delicate fibers of human connection in her debut book Explosive Moon. "Explosive Moon brought far away closer, like the tides delivering distant mysteries to the desert." - Delisa Myles Professor of Dance, Prescott College "The rhythms of nature pulse, course, and surge through the pages of Nikki Check's poetry debut with an unassuming subtlety that leaves you feeling like you have had your hands in the dirt, felt the squeeze of a heart's longing, and looked beseechingly upward at the stars." - Sarah Gianelli, Arts Editor, The Noise "Nikki Check is a rising Arizona poet. Her collection of poetry in Explosive Moon is deep and emotive, exploring the full range of emotions." - Kate Roberge, Kate's Books, Jerome, AZ
