Sun and Moon was published on Amazon and Kindle today. This is the second (revised) edition of Sun and Moon, the first edition having been published in 2000. Although this is the second edition, I have returned to and revised the original manuscript. It is clearer, stronger, and better than the first edition. Here is the description of the book as it appears on Amazon and Kindle.
“They tore down our walls,” Mono whispered, “stone by stone. A new church they built on the land they stole from us.” These opening lines begin the verbal adventure of Sun and Moon. Written in Oaxaca, Mexico, between 1995 and 1999, the poems tell some of the tales of the voiceless, of the conquered, of the displaced, of the survivors, of the people who eat and sleep in the streets of Oaxaca, spinning their myths and legends and recalling their oral histories and memories. Sun and Moon traces the relationships between two civilizations, the indigenous and the conquerors, from the first contacts between Europeans and the people of the Oaxaca Valley up to the modern day interactions between locals and tourists. In these pages, some of the ancient ceremonies and beliefs, as described by indigenous people, are brought back to life in vivid images and colorful metaphors, so sharp, they can be grasped between the fingers and examined by the light of the sun by day and the moon by night. The multiple voices in the poems are those of human beings who, like the author, himself an émigré, find themselves in exile, lost, abandoned, and displaced. As the final character cries out in the final poem: “You do not worship at our sacred places … you don’t know even know the meaning of my name.”

Excellent. The cover looks an old alchemical illustration.

It’s actually a modern representation, made by the friend of a friend, of Oaxaca where Sun and Moon are so prominent and play such a part in ritual life. The alchemical overlay is a wonderful addition to that theme: layer upon layer. Thank you.

Thanks, Tanya. Clare did the cover for me and it is delightful. She is going to redesign my earlier covers, especially a couple that she knows she can improve. The interiors won’t change, but the photos and the presentations will be vastly improved.

Thanks, John. I couldn’t have done it without you. I have learned so much too about the revision process from the responses and comments on his blog. The rewrites and revisions are so much better than the originals. In part, finding the original manuscript helped enormously. Anyway, hats off to you John, and to all my faithful commentators and bloggers.

That’s great. Clouding over here now. I hope we haven’t lost the sun for the day. I think we have that Florida weather system moving closer: it’s like a sauna out there!
