Forgive me if this has already been asked, but what exactly is moony moonless sky? Is there a place one might be able to access the whole thing, assuming it’s a poetry collection or chapbook?
P.s. your writing is incredible. Thank you for giving words to what most people can’t say or don’t understand. <3
hey, you absolutely don’t need to apologize. ‘moony moonless sky’ is just a compilation of poems i started writing when i was fifteen. i am not sure if it’s a poetry book or something else because the chances of its physical existence are quite thin. to answer your second question, i'm sorry, but as of right now, there’s no outlet for you to access the entire collection. i have been told that some people here would appreciate a pdf file containing all my work, so i have been working on that from time to time.
thank you so much for reading. i hope you’re having a great day!

Hey, I was searching for your book for a month and found it really weird that I couldn't find it.
Your words are so powerful, really thank you so much for sharing them with us. I'm happy to have found you so I can tell you that your work is touching and truly amazing. I hope to read a lot more from you.
Cheers from Croatia and wishing you a lovely day!
hey, thank you so much for your kind words and for searching for my book! i truly appreciate your support and am glad to hear that my words have resonated with you. your encouragement means a lot to me, especially since my country isn't really into publishing. however, i have been asked about my book before, so for the past couple of months, as someone here suggested, i've been working on compiling a pdf that contains all of my works. thank you once again, i wish you a wonderful day as well!

hello!
I love, love, love, love, love¹⁰⁹⁸⁷⁶⁵⁴³² your poetry, it rips my heart out of my chest, chews it, and then spits it out at my feet, all while I'm dumbfounded, thinking, "What the hell just happened"
Can I use some of the parts as titles for fanfiction/fanart, I'll credit you obviously
(I'm okay with taking a no too!)
Please never stop writing! Thank you for writing them!
hello, i wanted to express my gratitude for your kind words. i have been smiling like an idiot ever since i read your message. i am glad to hear that you enjoyed reading my work, and of course, you are more than welcome to incorporate it into your own!

little girl, you'll grow up, but the malice on your tongue will forever be the words of your father. / every time he opens his mouth, you think it's to shout. it's not. // what are memories of childhood if not quicksand? swallowing you whole.

how i would beg, medusa, for her to look at me, and midas, for his golden clutch / all of this would ruin me / but at least i would be seen and touched.
