Description

Poetry. ABSENCE LIKE SUN illuminates an axiomatic paradox subverting the foremost symbol of the Platonic ideal and the writer's working relationship with Louisiana regionalism. This book of lyric poetry also presents a creative, mythic worldview, which orbits the title imagery's subverted symbolism, where the sun becomes the warming image of absence. Conceptually, these poems function like heliophysics--alternating between solar flares and an axis poem in concurrent verse utilizing the left and right side of the page. Some of the predominant recurring themes of the manuscript are haunting homelessness, filiation/affiliation, post-Katrina New Orleans, Christian myth, and the paradoxical nature of the universe.
