Poet Colin B. Douglas reads from Into the Sun

Into the Sun is a magnificent collection of Colin Douglas's poetry, a curious, enlightening, and disturbing blend of striking imagery, intense spirituality, and subtle eroticism. Dennis Clark, in a review for the Association for Mormon Letters, called Douglas "a man too long in the shadows," "a remarkable poet" whose work proceeds "with all the clarity, logic, and irrationality of a dream." Clark explains, "The elements of the dream form a coherent whole without relying on either him or us to know a system of interpretation. That is one of the things that overwhelms me as a reader. The poems do not mean, but be—a state that allows me to inhabit them . . . , trying to find the key to that unknown language." Colin Douglas writes, "Poems of this kind can be merest glimpses through a window on the infinite and eternal and marvelous and rationally, literally unspeakable mystery of being; . . . of the erotic and convulsively beautiful ecstasy of Eternal Life and Creation."
