The Immortal Sunflower is a voyage of the mind navigating through intense feelings that expose raw emotions rooted in a troubled psyche, and ultimately the transformation into the light. From a tiger to a red dove, and to a sunflower as tall as a skyscraper, these highly imaginative, vulnerable, and powerful poems uniquely take on an otherwise typically invisible and often devastating illness-bipolar disorder. Sophia Falco, an individual who is affected by this, captures suffering and hope in unconventional ways including imagery that transcends earth into outer-space.

At its finest, poetry contains multitudes, an infinite depth within a few short lines. The poems contained in Farewell Clay Dove have an intriguing simplicity that harmonizes with their richness. These poems show remarkable insight into the Falco's subjective world.Sophia Falco's world is a dreamy land of swirling colors - until it is upended. Farewell Clay Dove is a meditation on mania, when every levitation brings an inevitable fall. The contrast between idyllic nature scenes and harsh reality propels the book forward on a wave of bright color and intense perception. Dandelions become astronauts and skyscrapers grow roots, as the speaker moves in and out of reality, and eventually into the psych ward, where they must confront the workings of their own mind.Sophia Falco's new book is wonderful! In reading you will see her progressing toward a powerful revelation. Each section can stand alone, but have more power because of her progression into awareness. My favorite section is "Suspend". The poems here are highly visual. Sophia Falco is very brave.
