Powerful, personal, and purifying. Heather Sellers, author of Field Notes from the Flood Zone

Based on iconic representations of Bible scenes, David Starkeys poems in The Moon Shall Not Give Her Light attempt to recapture some of the strangeness of great Italian painters like Giotto, Fillipo Lippi, Bellini, Caravaggio and Gentileschi, while incorporating elements of contemporary life into work that is by turns witty, wild, sad, subversive and reverential. Twelve mystical and timeless cont crayon drawings by artist Rafael Perea de la Cabada deepen and argue with Starkeys often skeptical interpretations of the Gospel. The result is a reading and rendering of the New Testament like no other.
