Miss Moon

Stories and Poems

by Alan Ramias

Here’s a book that invites readers into a luminous collection of stories told in verse.

Miss Moon is a meditation on life’s fleeting and unforgettable moments, told through a series of lyrical narratives. Each piece is a self-contained story — whimsical, poignant, or quietly shattering — that transforms everyday experiences into vivid reflections on love, loss, memory, and belonging.

Ramias’s prose-turned-poetry carries both intimacy and universality. A soldier’s memory, a family’s fracture, a lover’s absence — each refracted moment shines with insight into what it means to be human. For readers who enjoy writing that balances lyricism with raw honesty, this is a collection that will linger long after the final page.

Alan Ramias served as an Army reporter in the Mekong Delta during the Vietnam War, where he documented the daily lives of soldiers and civilians in a world marked by uncertainty. Those experiences became the foundation for The Bridge, a story about connection, loyalty, and the unexpected friendships forged in the shadow of conflict. After the war, Alan earned degrees in English, Philosophy, and an MBA, and built a distinguished corporate career helping organizations improve performance around the globe. Today, he draws on both his military service and decades of working with people from many cultures to create fiction that explores the complexities of human relationships, memory, and the moments that stay with us.
