Beautiful Moon: Wakes Me Up Before the Sunlight
One day, Lara sees her dreams break apart, slow down, and pause because she didn’t tell the truth, which hurts her heart. She is looking for more information about her great-grandparents to learn of her family’s heritage, which leads her in a new direction toward a new heritage! Lara learned from her great-grandfather how their lives were a continuous process of creation and with a great sensibility of achievements that contributed to the development of a new generation. All the experiences acquired with these achievements brought her grandfather a sense of a different world with a comprehensive vision, a vision of peace. But Lara sees the world as a Blood Moon, and feels something profound as she understands the whole story. Humanity is looking for a cycle of conflict linked to anguish and an imbalance of achievements, but Lara tries through simplicity and sensibility to find a happy ending. In the thirst of her dreams, she finds a single place, her silence, where she feels safe.

Poetry Gives Different Magnitudes to Understand Your Thoughts
“Granted, poetry can be thorny and often difficult to comprehend. But some poetry, like that in Maria Alice Silva’s new book, is like a small gift: morsels of meaning slide right past your poetry defenses and lodge in your head and heart. You don’t have to love poetry to love Maria Alice’s poems. There is no secret key required to unlock them. They speak to common aspects of all our lives—dreams, nature, challenges, relationships—and we can receive the poems’ insights loud and clear.” – Alice Parente, Executive Director, Process Theatre
