Under the Moon as My Sun

At just 13 years old, Matilda Bray offers a superbly unconventional resonant voice among new and emerging poets in her first collection entitled, Under the Moon as My Sun. Her search for meaning and beauty questions the perfectly unpredictable nature of what it means to be coming of age living in America today. "Matilda’s passion is contagious. Her writing is imaginative, focused, and thoughtful. Clearly, this young writer is quickly establishing herself as one of tomorrow’s brightest and cherished writers." - Lorraine Henrie Lins, 2010 Bucks County Poet Laureate. "Matilda's ability to focus on one or two unifying images and mine them metaphorically is extraordinary. Matilda is a brave and gifted poet." - Joanne Leva is the founder and executive director of the Montgomery County Poet Laureate Program (MCPL) "This is the work of a young woman mastering her craft. Pay close attention; Matilda Bray certainly is." - Tishon Woolcock, Poets House Emerging Poets fellow (2014) $1 from each book sold will be donated to the Children's Literacy Initiative of Philadelphia.
