"The moon in the title of Judith Valente's book, "Discovering Moons," becomes, after reading these deeply felt poems, the moon invisibly tethered to earth, as spirit and body are mysteriously tethered in Valente's work."
-- Stuart Dybeck, Author, Streets in Their Own Ink.
"This is a thoroughly engaging and illuminating book. Judith Valente and Charles Reynard show us how we, too, can enter a poem through the openings our own lives give us."
-- Rosellen Brown, author of Before and After and Tender Mercies
"[Her poems] own their own beauty, offer themselves abundantly to metaphor. Ms. Valente has constructed an active, even frisky language, pulling into the poem references and allusions that tease our minds as they amplify the poem's subject and mood and landscape."
-- Pulitzer Prize winning poet Mary Oliver
