'and the moon softly wept' - out now!

About Me


Anna Foletta
I am a Naarm/Melbourne based writer who lives with my two adult children and one indifferent cat in a witchy cottage in Nillumbik.
I write, dance, run maiden and women's circles, study ecology and buy books online and stack them next to my bed.
I published my first poetry book an ordinary magic in 2020 and I have just released my new book and the moon softly wept, in September 2024.
While writing has been a life long passion and cathartic outlet, writing bios about myself is my least favourite thing (after ironing and cooking dinner).

ANNA FOLETTA
I respectfully recognise and acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land in which this book and my writing takes place. I pay my respects to the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation, who are the custodians of the land where I live and work, and their Elders past, present and emerging.
I am committed to honouring Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people's unique cultural and spiritual relationships to the land, waters and seas and their rich contribution to society.
It always was, and always will be Aboriginal land.
