Description
Book SynopsisSunflowers drenched in early evening sun; icy blue, explosive waves along the rocky shores of Maine; September cotton "like strange anachronistic snowin Tennessee-Anderson forges these images into deep ruminations on love, shame, delight, loss, and estrangement.
Trade ReviewHis poems are lusciously detailed and his voice is fully developed. American Poet 2007 The title of Daniel Anderson's second book Drunk In Sunlight suggests an altered state of consciousness. But Drunk On Sunlight could also serve as the book's title, since so many of the poems here reflect a kind of rapture provoked by the wonders of being: 'How excellent it is to be alive,' as the speaker of 'Aubade' puts it.
