When the Sun Was a Poet: A Lyrical Almanac of Life’s Seasons and Seasonings

When the Sun Was a Poet leans in to look and listen for the Sun’s lyrical and life-giving gifts and to reveal unexpected places where the Sun’s poetry enlivens and enlightens our life seasons. The collection traces the Sun’s sometimes dazzling, sometimes disguised, sometimes life-giving, sometimes life-disrupting presence through each season. Are these poems about the Sun? No, these verses celebrate the Sun and how she divulges and clarifies beauty and wisdom. The collection concludes with celestial dances celebrating a lyrical coalescence of cosmic lights and seasons.
