In Charlotte Eichler's debut pamphlet, a young couple wonder whether family life would be easier if they were cuttlefish, and two girls try all they can to read the future. There are explorations of gendered violence and the silences within families: a daughter and her father communicate through moths, women pose in bikinis to advertise coffins, and a valkyrie leaves her husband. Ambivalent interactions with the natural world are woven throughout the book: a child discovers her power over creatures smaller than herself, and polar bears overrun an Alaskan town.

A town finds itself at the mercy of a polar bear.In her debut pamphlet, Charlotte Eichler explores human relationships through our ambivalent interactions with the natural world. Navigating many literal and metaphorical islands along the way, her poems form an archipelago of ideas, taking us on an unforgettable journey from the Hebrides to the Norse heavens."Charlotte Eichler grabs the twisting, female narrative and confidently fits colours and stories into new bodies. These poems are almost anthropomorphic half girl, half beast and I'm excited to follow whatever she writes next." Jen Campbell"Their Lunar Language infolds named and imaginary, near and far-flung places. It assembles a disquieting array of feminine characters, later bringing in masculine figures of tenderness and fragility. This creates a powerful authorial perspective, not mistakable for any other voice. Brides and cuttlefish, wayward or broken forms of love, woodlands transposable with human manufacture: this is modern pastoral, not nostalgic, and well beyond the ordinary domestic lyric."
