Each poem in Dropping Sunrises in a Jar attempts to understand why birds appear happy at sunrise. Written from notes spanning over twenty years, the poems glimpse nature's inner workings of joy. In free verse, sonnets, and formal poems, sunrises from across the globe are depicted in a variety of awakening colors and sounds. Poems recount the morning's opera from locations like a sleeping car on a train going to Beijing to Prague with its construction noise. Other poems remain stateside with the cooing of doves in North Carolina and canyon towhees in Arizona. By a steady progression of sunrises, readers will ultimately find themselves released back into their world with a humorous, hopeful reprimand from the Sun itself.
