Under a Blameless Moon
Under a Blameless Moon by Anne McCrady
Under a Blameless Moon was the 2007 winner of the Pudding House Chapbook Prize, a national competition that included hundreds of entries. Anne's insightful chapbook of peace and social justice poems continues to be a favorite of readers and a source of inspiration for peacemakers. In the years since its publication, Anne has become known for her many peace-related poems and the countless hours she has committed to projects for peace. Those efforts include founding an annual local celebration of the United Nations International Day of Peace called Art of Peace - Tyler and publishing through InSpiritry an annual peace chapbook anthology. The poems in Under a Blameless Moon will soon become the core of a new full-length collection of poems that consider the personal, social, cultural and political aspects of peace.
