In Magnificent Desolation, the Moon is a promising, new frontier for a couple disillusioned with life on Earth. But when they abandon the third rock for the bright satellite nearby and the distance between their expectations and their reality widens, the speaker and companion struggle to adjust. The poems in Magnificent Desolation juxtapose the marvelous wonders of space with the burning questions that plague the speaker's mind. Is the Moon made of cheese? How long can two people survive-and survive each other-on the Moon?
