When he was eight years old, Greg Bachar (pronounced "BOCKER") wrote, "My machine would do my writing for me. His name would be Mr. Machine. He would be made from steel. He would be a big machine. The color would be silver. The magic button would be on the side with the other buttons. I would not tell anybody about my magic machine." Decades of production later, Bachar presents a collection of essays on the sleight of hand that fuels his writing machine's engine. Press the magic button and climb inside.

A book of poems about the sun and sun themes: the infinite, solar longevity, illumination, magnitudinal longing, vicissitudes of entanglement, temporal resonance, the shadow realm, synthesis, incandescence, fluorescence, seasonal ebbs and flows, chandelier thinking, flared expansion, ornithological blindness, orbital conjugations, bliss.
