As a whole, Chana Bloch's "The Moon Is Almost Full" is poetry that ignites the creative impulse in the imaginative reader as Bloch deliberately and willfully salvages beauty from a life confronted by suffering. She teaches joy, humility, and endurance all at once in her original and provocative cries from the heart. http: //www.journal-news.net/weekender/2017/08/bloch-writes-about-the-human-condition-and-transformative-power-of-love/--Sonja James "The Journal (WV)" (8/1/2017 12:00:00 AM) But that's part of the effectiveness of Bloch's poetry--that the poems encourage our habitation in them to create a story of our own. This relaxed--and answered--call to empathy is one of Bloch's strengths. http: //galatearesurrects2017.blogspot.com/2017/09/the-moon-is-almost-full-by-channa-bloch.html--Eileen Tabios "Galatea Resurrects" (9/1/2017 12:00:00 AM) It is traditional to give last words a primacy over other speech and with good reason. When utterance stands 'between self and door' it no longer has the impish urge to quibble or conceal, nor, for that matter, to repose in its own sonority. The Moon Is Almost Full is Chana Bloch's final collection, and it stands or falls, as she understood, on its ability to be taken as last words, the final vocabulary whereof marks what we really meant and really believe. Irony is out of bounds in this last of our language games, replaced by modesty, to which those who continue on in life might assign a kind of irony of posture, if not of subject: it isn't, as we shall all see. As Kafka reminded us, discontinuation begets no irony: it is what it is. http: //www.cortlandreview.com/issue/77/rigsbee_r.php--David Rigsbee "The Cortland Review" (11/1/2017 12:00:00 AM) Poetry is the touchstone throughout The Moon Is Almost Full; it is what sustains Bloch. In the poem "Provisions," for example, Bloch writes of asking an "aging poet" when she was thirty, "What's left for me to write?" Rather than mocking, the poet responds, "Life will provide," and Bloch notes the answer was "Delphic, though her tone / was maternal." Writing many years later "Life" provides "the endless thread, / the poem." I imagine her delight in crafting her experiences in the last months and days of her life into these well-wrought poems. http: //therumpus.net/2017/12/the-moon-is-almost-full-by-chana-bloch/--Julie R.
