ABOUT
Genevieve Kaplan, poet and publisher of Toad Press, says “In alternately spiritual and feudal dreamlands, Cooper reveals “everything the novice needs to know / about light” and invites us to follow as “I go with a birdcage strapped upon my shoulders.”
The Truth About the Sun’s “lucid poems” says poet Nate Hoks, “construct a “sentient garden,” a ripe textual space that performs the marvelous task of confronting difficult truths about the self and our world crises while also deploying the “spell” language of lyric poetry.”
The Truth About the Sun is available for purchase from Finishing Line Press.
