Gift for Poetry Lovers: The Sun Will Eat You, Too
It has been 5 years since Paradox Locked was published in 2019, and I’m happy to announce the upcoming release of my 8th poetry book, The Sun Will Eat You Too, launching on November 20, 2024! This collection ruminates around themes of science, math, philosophy, eternity, the void, the endless cycles of life and death, and the futility of existence.

Cycles of Life and Death

The Void and Futility

2024 Gift for Poetry Lovers: "The Sun Will Eat You, Too"
The sun, a symbol of both life-giving light and inevitable destruction, serves as a powerful metaphor throughout the collection.
