• The author is well-connected and has been widely published in the United States and Canada.
• The authors 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.
