The Moon with the Sun in Her Eye

In The Moon with the Sun in Her Eye, Nana Lampton boldly explores the tension between the feminine moon and the masculine sun. Using the dual lenses of metaphor and image, she asks 'Why can't we see more clearly?' Responding to our local, global, and cosmic situations, Lampton places humanity among the plants, animals, rivers, mountains, continents, and cultures of our world. With a mythic embodiment who might have leapt from the brain of William Blake, Lampton's Potain Sieblung gives us a female figure both powerful and vulnerable, penetrant in her honest insights, and brave enough to sweep us stunned gawkers along in her wake.
