Description
Surreal, dreamlike, and absurdist lyrics-as-poetry weave together fact and fable in this debut collection from A.p. Harbor: pen name of Appalachian songwriter Andrew Preston. Illustrated in doodles and fragments by bandmate Mary Morris, this hodgepodge of story-songs explores love, nature, magic, family, science, and the humdrum of everyday life.

Critical Reviews
"This collection is a bubble of joy rising in a parallel universe-built from our detritus but spinning free, weird, and luminous. Each song is sticky with meaning, their whimsy and heartbreak braided into something whole. It's nursery rhyme meets celestial funk: goats, bees, men in trucks, and a drunk sense of wonder. I felt like I knew it already, like I'd dreamed it before."
--Willie Edward Taylor Carver Jr., award winning author of bestseller Gay Poems for Red States
"A.p. Harbor's songs sound like a picture book."
--George Ella Lyon, award winning author and Kentucky Poet Laureate, 2015-16
"The Hum of a Dreaming Moon is a spellbound hymn for the queer, the haunted, and the tender-hearted. A.p. Harbor weaves Appalachian grit, dream logic, and raw emotional clarity into a collection that feels part gospel, part ghost story, part love letter. These poems and lyrics pulse with strange beauty, brutal honesty, and a voice that is unmistakable. This is a book you feel as much as you read. It is one that stays with you."
--Amy Le Ann Richardson, author of Who You Grow Into and Out of Places
