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.
