A collection of four long-form poems by avant-garde poet Stanley Nelson, City of the Sun deals with weighty themes such as science and religion. At times appearing in the complete disarray of the deconstructionist mode and at other times rigidly formal in its presentation, Nelson’s verse aims at the grandiosity of the masters of old.
“One of the most innovative poets of our time. In the realm of experimental visual form, Nelson is a worthy successor to Apollinaire and Cummings, and he is unique in his major music.” (Small Press Review)
“... Nelson’s epic is concerned with a desperately eternal theme: the search for meaning and beauty that has led centuries of men and women to push physical, mental and spiritual boundaries to exhaustion.” (The Pedestal)
