This book of lyric poetry also presents a creative, mythic worldview, which orbits the title imagery\u2019s subverted symbolism, where the sun becomes the warming image of absence. Conceptually, these poems function like heliophysics\u2014alternating 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\u00a0are\u00a0haunting homelessness, filiation\/affiliation, post-Katrina New Orleans, Christian myth, and the paradoxical nature of the universe.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Praise for Vincent A.
