The Valley Knows: Poems from the Ridge and the Rift is A.F. Moffitt's second poetry collection, a journey through the "middle miles" of life- where faith is tested, identity feels fragile, and resilience grows in quiet places.Drawing from her Appalachian roots and Montana home, Moffitt writes with raw honesty about family loss, fractured memory, exhaustion, and the longing to be whole. Her poems move from shadows and silence into sparks of humor and moments of hope, offering readers both recognition and renewal.This collection speaks to anyone who has carried heavy burdens, walked through valleys, or wrestled with what remains in the rift between grief and grace. With language both tender and unflinching, Moffitt reminds us that even in the in-between, we are not lost- only becoming.
