Sunworshippers

Author: Paul Ebenkamp

Publisher: Ugly Duckling Presse (2026)

The outcome of a series of extended techniques developed over a decade of psychic repair, Sunworshippers is a work of mid-life summation done by someone who knows darn well they were just born. In a constant circadian volte-face between self and soul, reticence and openness, mortal limit and cosmic intermittence, these imaginal forms welcome all trouble and all desire. Bewildered laughter is involved; awe is actively courted; exuberantly bleak zones are approached and embodied with incandescent tenderness; harmony and joy are well-documented. Our era may be one of hyper-executive, ultra-processed self-possessiveness, but truth makes the new music, here in the ancient present: “new vistas of nowhere else.”
