The Paradox of Sonder by Jack Dunbar
The Paradox of Sonder is a collection of poems and short stories that vividly explores such themes as: comradeship, nature, human connection, family, racism, sexuality, and love. Through his resourceful use of the music in language, Jack Dunbar crafts profound and deeply rousing works of poetry and prose. In his poem For the Female Night, readers can expect to acquaint themselves with a protective, feminine darkness, whereas his short story Let Me Bare Arms promotes a masculine perspective that is aching and lost. With its genesis in the complexity of connecting, The Paradox of Sonder means to challenge the idea of detachment, that amid a generation of increasing emotional solitude, we can connect through words and their beautiful music.
Writing as Jack Dunbar, Eric Shoemaker grew up studied ancient maps, maps that depicted lost civilizations, lost empires and those who lived during each of their heydays. His interest in history and the story possibilities the historical and mythical events depicted in those maps present to fiction writing and have melded into the themes that run through The Emperor of Carysfort Reef: Resurrection. His careers in the U.S. Army, in law enforcement, and ultimately in the U.S. Intelligence Community each provided a rich school for his writing. He has lived or spent a great deal of time in many of the places depicted in this story. His favorite places in the Florida Keys and Scotland provide a rich stage for the journey his characters make in this book. He splits his time between his home in Charles County, Maryland near Washington, D.C. Florida Keys, and the family log house in the Endless Mountain region of Pennsylvania.
