The Moon Reminded Me

Finalist for the 2016 Homebound Publications  
Poetry Prize

In her luminous poems, Ellen Grace O’Brian 

manages to braid contemporary moments of 

everyday life with ancient spiritual teachings—the sight of a humming-

bird’s red throat, bread on the table, a couple’s quarrel, a mother’s advice—

become doorways into the divine mystical heart.

The Moon Reminded Me, subtly laced with Sanskrit, gives us an insight 

into a poet who bridges two worlds eloquently enough to take us along 

with her. Sandhya, the numinous time for stepping into the temple, 

suddenly becomes this moment, now.
