Through poems that both glisten with unfettered lyricism and explore psychological nuances with a knowing wink. Sun Songs is an ode to the power of spiritual fortitude in troubled times. Sacred love—for humanity, for nature—remains George Christinian's key motif as his sensitively calibrated pieces speak of the myriad of modern anxieties regarding daily life, the creative impulse, love, and world peace. The author is led by an overarching desire to foster the beauty and constancy of one's roots and homeland, work and creativity, within a larger context of universal harmony. For this he turns to a higher principle, attempting to decipher nature's language, to understand himself within its framework. What ensues is a vibrant project of reading the cosmos in human terms, of conversing with it, driven by the conviction that concordance between man and nature is our ultimate gift.
