Piece Description
A college student leaps from a bridge, a young mother walks into a lake, a widow clings to a ledge. Impulse. Depression. Illness. Grief. “Here There Is No Moon” is a portrait of the suicidal mind from the perspective of those who have survived the bullet, the bottle, the jump --and those who have helped in rescue and intervention. There is the limbo in which some live: Why am I still here? Will I try again? Can I resume the life I almost left? For others, there is relief in having a second chance at life. And then there are the doctors, philosophers, counselors, and poets who grapple with suicide as epidemic, violence, and siren song. But the fundamental question remains: Why does one commit suicide, while another does not? No one really knows the answer. True stories from those who might. This piece was featured on Transom.org.

Review of Here There is No Moon (U.S. version 26:37)
Very interesting, almost like we could hear the voices inside their heads (our heads?), before, during and after "that" moment. I just felt that I would like to hear more about one or two stories and they just.. went away. The soundscapes are very good.
