The Battlefield Where The Moon Says I Love You is a 15,283-line epic poem by the poet Frank Stanford.

First published in 1978 as a 542-page book,[1] the poem is visually characterized by its absence of stanzas (or any skipped horizontal spaces) and punctuation.

[1] Though the copyright was registered in 1977, the volume was not released until after Stanford's death--as CD Wright notes in her introduction to the 2000 re-release.

After being out of print for several years,[4] the book was republished by Lost Roads (under succeeding editorship of C.D.

Wright and Forrest Gander) in 2000; this second, corrected edition — 383 pages, equipped with line numbers — is in print, having been reprinted by the press in 2008.
