Amy Zerner Discusses Thankfulness & 'Harvest Moon' Cover
By Oliver Peterson

A Conversation with Amy Zerner

Oliver: Tell me about “Harvest Moon” – what is the story behind this piece?

Amy: The Harvest Moon art on the cover is from a new book project I am working on. This goddess is rooted to the Earth. Upon her head she wears a headdress of fruit and flowers, tying her to the abundance in nature. In her right hand she clasps a cornucopia. There is growth all about her, for she is the fertile Earth Mother showering us with her bounty. Her nurturing femininity also helps us to give birth to creative ideas. At her feet flow the waters of the collective unconscious uniting us all as her family in the most profound way. As she gazes into this misty stream, she trusts that its waters will give new life to the seeds that are her children. By helping us to know and share love, peace, creativity and happiness, this Earth Goddess helps us bring our dreams to fruition in a world where logic and intuition should dwell together as do Heaven and Earth.
