| book description |

â€œBeautifully written, The Eighth Moon uses a very light touch to probe the most essential, unresolvable questions of belief, kinship, fidelity, history, and identity.â€â€”Chris Kraus A rebellion, guns, and murder. When Jennifer Kabat moves to the Catskills, she has no idea it was the site of the Anti-Rent War, an early episode of American rural populism.Â As she forges friendships with her new neighbors and explores the countryside on logging roads and rutted lanesâ€”finding meadows dotted with milkweed in bloom, saffron salamanders, a blood moon rising over Munsee, Oneida, and Mohawk landâ€”she slowly learns of the 1840s uprising, when poor tenant farmers fought to redistribute their landlordsâ€™ vast estates. In the farmersâ€™ socialist dreams, she discovers connections to her parentsâ€™ collectivist values, as well as to our current moment. Threaded with historical documents, the natural world, and the work of writers like Adrienne Rich and Elizabeth Hardwick, Kabat weaves a capacious memoir, where the past comes alive in the present.Â Rich with unexpected correspondences and discoveries, this visionary and deeply compassionate debut gives us a new way of seeing and being in placeâ€”one in which everything is intertwined and all at once.Â
