Deriving its title from an allusion to a gigantic mushroom-like cloud ominously renting the sky upon which it seems to hang, frozen in many a frame, as the single trustworthy testimony-besides numbers-to the totality of indescribable destruction Oppenheimer's brainchild meted upon Hiroshima, Twice the Size of Sun's seed-idea stemmed from the author's interrogative musings: Why do wars still persist when the world is committed to pursuing peace? Why haven't the concerned authorities banned all the weapons?

Having been born into-and having lived through-war, the author has naturally gilded the chapbook with war-inspired themes, punctuated with moments of meaningful silence: the way it ruffles the social landscape, the way it makes monsters out of men, and the way it turns men into stones to survive their realities. Each poem, herein, tells the story of South Sudan as it is-or, rather, as a poet sees it.
