2 AM Moon Tracy L Conway

Conway's 2 a.m. Moon offers a remarkable departure from her first collection of poems, initially published a decade ago. There is a harsh vulnerability and relentless self-analysis following the dissolution of a toxic long-term relationship. It is a soul searching, downward spiral roller coaster, one that often deposits the author in a New Orleans dive bar, looking for answers in a succession of bottles. A common thread in Conway's body of work is the desire for love, personal growth, and deep connection. She illustrates her experiences; that transformation and healing often work best in tandem with nature. Many of these works feature the brilliant backdrop of the night sky, or the Louisiana landscapes where Conway continues to wander.
