"In Firefly, Brightly Burning Eileen Moeller manages to combine humor and seriousness to explore all the complexities of a woman's ordinary life in order to find the moments of grace and transcendence that save us. This is a brilliant book of intelligent, insightful, charming poems. Moeller calls on us to witness the delicate balancing act of the mundane and the sacred."
