Moonlight and Reflections
Our poetry anthology is a creative collaboration among nine local poets who bring to the work their diverse backgrounds and interests while sharing a personal connection with our region. The poems in Moonlight and Reflections, according to Les Bernstein, poet, editor, and winner of the Nazim Hikmet Festival Award, “…are not simply poems but incantations, blessings and a yes for elevating the mundane with charm and perspective.”
Moonlight and Reflections, published by Valley of the Moon Press, can be ordered by email info@valleyofthemoonpress.com
The book is also available at Readers’ Books, 130 E. Napa St., Sonoma, CA 95476 (707) 939-1779.

“In this remarkable collection, Trenam is able to transform empty and blank spaces into places of worship that entice the reader to leave “the dark corners of our rooms” to experience not only the world that he creates through these poems, but also the ways in which art, music, dance, and poetry are rooted ‘at the heart of things.'”—Megan Merchant
“These are poems that hold us spellbound in an ecstasy of pendulous light.”
—George Wallace, Writer in Residence, Walt Whitman Birthplace, Poet Laureate, Suffolk County, LI NY, author of 36 books and chapbooks of poetry.

Sonoma Valley Sonnet
Sonoma poets present a collection of original poems, inspired by a unique sense of place and paired with evocative color photographs by Jeffrey Bartfeld. This elegant linen-covered book, printed in California, is a recognition and celebration of one of the state’s most bucolic and bountiful valleys. Sonoma Valley Sonnet explores our region’s pastoral yet vulnerable nature – its climate, streams, woodlands, terroir, the glorious night sky, and the very air we breathe.
