Introduction and Context
This extract provides a summary of the poem 'Letters from Yorkshire' by Maura Dooley. The poem explores the contrast between two lives separated by distance — the speaker in a city and their correspondent in the Yorkshire countryside. The poem highlights feelings of longing, separation, and the passage of time, captured through vivid imagery and personal reflection. A key phrase used in the poem is 'the same moon'. This phrase symbolises shared experience despite physical separation, emphasising emotional connection.
