- Summary:
- The Sun God making the night sea journey east toward dawn is an image of the power celebrated in Brooks Haxton's third collection of poems. The Sun at Night begins with two boys setting off on a homemade raft downriver among mysterious tropical plants and animals. The poems that follow, in like spirit, explore fern bar, construction site, asylum, death camp, and deep woods. One sequence, "On the Inner Planets," leaves this world in search of gods, yearning for transcendence and consummation while homesick for Planet Earth.
