Pura is the poetic voice of outrage and compassion for our times. Beautiful and heartbreaking. ~Kokolali Murray Pura's poetry is always a melodic revelation, but this book is special. It is a labor of profound sympathy, insight and love for the Ukrainian people and their continuing struggle against the outrages and horror of an unprovoked war. At times tender and nostalgic, at times brutal, it is an unforgettable read.
I highly recommend it. ~Mary R Please don't avoid Murray Pura's A Gathering of Suns just because you don't favor poetry. Pura's poems sing with accessibility for all readers, and they will touch and move you. Pura blends his own Ukrainian family history and stories with the current war in Ukraine, giving insights into what traits of the people enable their courageous stand against aggression. Read a poem, slowly ponder it, let it steep in your heart, and feel your understanding grow ~Tim R The eBook edition of A Gathering of Suns published by RCP Press of Canada
