What if the sun were a spectator of life on Earth? What if the sun were a reporter, taking notes, making observations, recording stories? What if it had carte blanche to tell what it sees. No doubt it would recount an odd mixture of daily life, coupled with wisdom and surprises.
This collection of diverse poems brings tears, laughter, and, on occasion, presses you to challenge the status quo. Some are meant simply to be enjoyed. What the Sun Sees has a poetic voice that speaks with love and fervor to broad human concerns, from care of the planet to personal reflections on family and human experience. The sun sees it all.
In her poem, corpus, Sarah reminds us that the grave esteems no one, but honors all. So it is with the sun, as it continues to shine.
