Because the Sun. Sarah Burgoyne

The author lives in Montreal, a hotbed for exciting, hip, young Canadian poetry. Because the Sun pairs two unexpected two classics, The Stranger by Albert Camus and Thelma and Louise, to consider violence under the sun. The author is well-connected and has been widely published in the United States and Canada. The author’s debut collection, Saint Twin, was well received and this follow-up is highly anticipated in the poetry community. Because the Sun presents pop culture through an intellectual gaze that would be appealing to a smart, young, educated audience. This would be a great fit next to popular American poets such as Jenny Zhang and Patricia Lockwood.
