Alexander Bentley is a gentle soul and a weaver of deep words. Words that carry the weight of even deeper meanings. From his hands drip the softest of whispers. His caress is poetry. His muse, the moon, reflecting light into every fiber.
Nothing is as enchanting as crossing paths with poetry that is filled to the brim with love. The heart speaks a hundred tongues and they are all found inside a single breath. In a single book like this.
The reader is immediately pulled from their chair. Gravity no longer exists here. The soul is drawn in by the tides that flow gently into wanting palms.
While reading, my heart whispered to me. It told me that She is the result of what any soul hopes to be to another. It wants to be held. As a reader, I feel embraced. And I can’t help but smile.
Alexander, who I deeply admire, invites you in. To make a temporary home. To smile, to play, to feel the heat of passion, to celebrate unconditional love. And for hopeless romantics like myself, you will dare to believe in love again.
An acquired taste for any soul that wishes to embrace the boundless love that fills these pages.

I chose this book to be the first verse novel I read because it’s a love story. Boy, am I glad I made the right choice! I haven’t seen or heard of any other modern poetry books like this one, so it makes quite a unique addition to my personal library.
First of all, the names of the characters are really lovely: Night and Luna; especially because Luna in Romanian means exactly what it means here as well: Moon. To be honest, “Luna” sounds much more romantic than “Moon” and fits “Night” just right.
I like how we are taken through a multitude of emotions, from missing the mere presence of her, to how well she fits in his arms; from how the little things add to their love, to how they plan the future together. It’s a very sensible and gentle read about a love deeper than what was in both their lives before. I enjoyed it to the bits
