We enter this book through 'nocturnal woods', nearing the soft twilight edge of understanding, then fall backwards.

'Falling Backwards from the Sun' is a collection of poetry exploring themes of alienation and belonging, grief and consolation, and of love, loss and longing in their many forms. It centres on the human struggle and yearning to recover a sense of connection with life, humanity, and, most fundamentally, with a deeper, more authentic self.

Swaying between the philosophical and confessional, Siomar Ballan's poetry embodies a soulfulness and contemplative urgency. We are invited into a story where a gentle reverence for the natural world is interwoven with dreamlike imagery, where we are called to 'listen closer to the whispering earth, ' to each other, and to the persistent thrum of our own being.
