Yonder in the Sun serves as a poetic rendering of the soul's encounter with the world. Through three cycles of verses wrought in a blend of traditional forms, the poems draw the reader into encounters with love and death, the divine and the earthly, the grotesque and the beautiful. The book is a poetic conversation whose participants, aware of the unseriousness of the things of this world, nonetheless love them passionately.
