The beautiful little book was published as a limited edition by the Rainbow Press in 1976). It has a much wider range of topics and tone than The Earth-Owl.
A trade edition collecting the poems of Earth-Moon and The Earth-Owl was published in the US in 1976 with illustrations by Leonard Baskin (Moon-Whales and Other Moon Poems). A revised UK edition (Moon-Whales) came out in 1988.
