Tracing the Curve

Ariana Moulton's Tracing the Curve draws on the poet's deep connection to the spaces in and around her-Chicago, Vermont, the shores of Lake Michigan-and her natural anxieties as a woman, mother, and teacher. The essential voice in each poem ranges from truly heartbreaking to simply joyous.

Tracing the Curve, Moulton's debut collection, will take you under damp viaducts, above a single ruby maple leaf, and into the questions that COVID-19 has created in all of us. Her words aim to open windows of the heart while begging questions of our world that need to be asked.
