Child Made of Sand

Lux's new collection showcases his signature blend of humor and surrealism while introducing a poignant exploration of time and mortality. Through a series of homages, elegies, and autobiographical pieces, he invites readers into a quieter, reflective space. The poem "West Shining Tree" exemplifies this shift, as Lux contemplates the journey toward understanding life's deeper truths. With echoes of his inventive style, this collection marks a mature evolution in his poetic voice, reinforcing his status among America's most engaging poets.
