Other Suns

Others Suns is a collection of lyric poetry grounded in both the material world and spiritual risk. The poet's clear voice speaks to the ways in which land shapes perception; that natural space is also social space.

Oscillating between alienation and wholeness, Other Suns carves a path between light and darkness, grief and continuance. From the edges of violence and doubt to “ridiculous hope,” these poems are firmly grounded in both the material world and spiritual risk. Killelea’s clear lyrics speak to the ways in which land shapes perception, reminding us that natural space is, indeed, social space.
