“The poems in Lunar Tides seek to define grief, and ultimately find a path toward healing.

“The structure of the collection, following as it does the waxing and waning of the moon, the ebbing and flowing of the tide, both reinforces the ongoing harm of colonial and capitalist ways of thinking, ways that insist on a tidy and timely resolution of grief and, later in the collection, assembles an alternative vision: ‘Learn that loss has its own time, and you are a small animal reeling.'” -Melanie Brannagan Frederiksen, Winnipeg Free Press Most Anticipated: Our Spring 2022 Poetry Preview - 49th Shelf “Webb-Campbell explores the idea of ‘mother’ as meta-origin birthplace/home and also the literal mother of the poems’ speaker, who is grieving her own mother’s death.” -Angela María Spring, The Washington Independent Review of Books Shannon Webb-Campbell on How Kathleen Hanna, Sylvia Plath, & Elizabeth Bishop Became Her Early Guides to Poetry - Open Book Read ‘Tides’, an excerpt from Lunar Tides: - League of Canadian Poets “ Lunar Tides is both expansive and exacting, inviting us to feel our own relationship to the ocean, belonging and mortality.” -Shalan Joudry, author of Walking Ground And in this way, we are shown how even grief can be transformed.” -Tawhida Tanya Evanson, author of Book of Wings

‘Life becomes a quest of origin,’ the poet tells us. These are poetics of nature told from the lip of Eastern Canada where a desire to know reveals a desire to remember. “There is an arc of light in Shannon Webb-Campbell’s Lunar Tides that passes through a mother’s death, a poet’s birth, and the moon in orbit over the Atlantic. This book reminds us that, grieving or not, we “need to be held by something other than a theory.” -Douglas Walbourne-Gough, author of Crow Gulch “In Lunar Tides, Shannon Webb-Campbell exposes a heart that’s broken but also carried across the gulf between the moon and the sea, a heart that knows how “grief takes up with the body.” She shows us that grief is tidal, its ebb and flow pulsing like the moon and dog-earring our memories.
LUNAR TIDES FULL
Lunar Tides is the ocean floor and a moonlit night: full of possibility and fundamental connections.

Written from a mixed Mi’kmaq/settler perspective, this work also explores the legacies of colonialism, kinship and Indigenous resurgence. Originating from Webb-Campbell’s deep grief of losing her mother, Lunar Tides charts the arc to finding her again in the waves. The poetics follow rhythms of the body, the tides, the moon, and long, deep familial relationships that are both personal and ancestral.
